I already mentioned this idea, but let us share as to elaborate. The White House used to call my Grandfather's house on the telephone more than a few times way back in the 1920s and 1930s. He was a delegate to the Democratic Convention, and a Hawaii Territorial legislator. He built a US Army building so strong, that years later people gave up demolition, repairing the slightly cracked but largely intact shell of it to house a military museum. He was a defense contractor. Have you ever heard of the "Grandfather Clause?" It can define different angles, in this context think about it. It should mean you do not hesitate, and as in Margaret Truman's biography remembers people who confided in the President, you say "exactly what you are thinking."
In this leeway you treasure the art of speaking well. "First Amendment," was made for all citizens and it does not require any illusion of privilege. The point here is having just enough time, just enough recognition, to get that message through and watch for the event when anything happens with it.
But if you get it, this family tree is from an honest contractor who bid fair and true, while the proof is in the building years later. It can be so sweet see when the power to do good fulfilled while a better state of mind gives currency to facts.
If being "in like flint," is not the only issue. Think of that family tree not only building military buildings, but also churches even synagogues. All of the latter things had a charitable inclusion. It can be hard telling no one your grandparents have two stained glass windows at the church of the parochial school you are attending. I really didn't care to. But don't forget the local Catholic University also. How do you start from the bottom in such a family, when no one will allow it? Do people esteem you and keep putting you on top of the world? Do you ever feel that someone thinks more in a good light about you than you do for yourself? Then again remember little details such as your daily bread and to give all you can even from your needs. Maybe the fantasy world does become true, but in these meditations family fun is the best of fun. The above cited Basketball victory, the upset of top rated Virginia was an attitude, one of the little known but suddenly beloved underdog who keeps trying. Maybe now you have a clue to what happened only a few days from the New York Times commentary on a 1982 game for what proceeded as a move for greatness.
You can just think of all this as science fiction, if you want. The larger truth is even stranger.
