Latin? Raised by Jesuits?

No, I attended the public high school John Irving dissed in "Garp", as
did his sister Nancy.

I learned my Latin at the same HS as Lyndon Larouche g.


We didn't have to learn to speak it.

We also had 2 years in junior high, taught by a faded Georgia belle.
The HS Latin teacher got a kick out of the fact that the students from
my junior high recited our declensions with a southern accent.
