Oh, phew! I was a little worried 😟Also—I taught in Newton schools years ago and found the socioeconomic stratification of the neighborhoods fascinating—a lot like when I lived in West Hartford CT. One group of Boston Brahmin Protestants, one group of working class Italians and Irish, and one group of well-to-do Jews. I am generalizing and it was a long time ago, but that is what I remember.
