Mark and Nancy Tramontin

Mark Tramontin: Yeah, and one teacher really had a meltdown with me, and, quite frankly, just exploded, and was cursing about my dad and calling him a nigger-lover.  And when he did that, I got up and walked out of the classroom, and called my dad right away and said, “I don’t want to be here,” and I told him what I just -- what the teacher just had said, and he came and got me.  This was when I was a junior in high school.  So I had been at Lane for a while, and there was still that kind of prejudice still going on.
