NYC trying build a foundation here and also we have Neo-Nazi who
are causing problems trying to spread hatred

I was born and raised in Waynesboro, my dad lived in Detroit until his parents both died when he was very young and he was shipped to his uncle in Chambersburg with his older brother. The Klan has alway had a foothold in Franklin, Adams and Fulton counties, also in Washington and Frederick counties in Maryland along with the western areas of Md (Cumberland area). My dad was always "faithful" to his family but he hated the Klan, I recall in junior high I was looked down upon cause I hung with two black friends, high school wasn't as bad but then we only had two black kids in my class (65) among over 400 students. When I joined the movement and spent all my free time "down south", I ran into lots of Klan...never very friendly! I was lucky...called lots of names, kicked and punched a few times and wore condiments and hot coffee but nothing worse...still, they left an impression that has lasted a lifetime!
