Mark Tramontin: Well, once again, it had recently reopened, and what’s interesting, looking back on it now -- I’m not sure I had that perspective then -- but it was the same old crowd that came back, so they were not a happy bunch, to say the least.  Once again, they’d rather shut down than change.  So it was the courts that forced them to reopen.  So there was still that same kind of tension, and I think there was even more so because when my dad came down as director of instruction and then became superintendent, and he was a guy from the North, and back then that was huge sin, I’m sure, to have somebody like that come down to tell you how to run your high school.  and I know several names of several teachers that really resented that -- resented him for that.  And that’s really where a lot of the trouble began.
