I was about 15 at the time, as clueless as a 15yo could be in Barry Goldwater's very conservative Arizona. We had few Blacks in our small high school but in my mind they were included in studies, sports and pranks just like the rest of us. Ralph Mitchell was black and a friend. Athletic and intellectual he was and I remember a change during that time where he isolated himself from the general population. By the time he survived VN and came home it was black armbands and berets. I saw him when he came home, he looked right thru me.. I did nothing to him except maybe not understand he was different than me all along..
