I had the opportunity to speak to 320 students at Bloom Carroll High School on April 30 and May 2. The students were respectful and attentive. I spoke eight periods each day – a speaking marathon!

Since I spoke twice to each class, after I told my story we had time to discuss different forms of government. My family and I have lived under communism, Nazism, Socialism, a democratic republic. For a short time during WWII we even lived under a monarchy.

Those experiences tend shape ones views based on reality. By the way, King Michael was a good King.
