Southern Hospitality now has meaning, a collage of faces, places and memories. This was the first such cultural exchange in which our local school district had ever participated. In January, 20 seniors and two teacher advisors from the high school in Talledega, Ala., spent a week here, in hosts’ homes and hearts. Welcomed with snow, some had gone sledding for their very first time. Crammed into their week were chilly visits to national and state capitols, Inner Harbor, and local “Pa.

For most of the 18 students and us two adults, it was a week of “firsts.” First time to actually live with another family in a different sort of environment.

Talledega's economy is education-centered, with a college, and several state training centers for the blind, deaf and han dicapped. Visits to these out standing centers were both im pressive and inspiring in their accomplishments. First-time exposure to a school where military training is a selective part of the curriculum. Students may enroll in the ROTC program, learning drills, riflery, and military preparedness, along with English, history and algebra. If they remain the entire four years, their college education's paid. Also, first exposure to a curriculum where ninth graders can explore career alternatives during six-week studies, from food service to auto mechanics to textile manufacturing. Even worship experiences for some of us were new. For a liturgically-steeped Lutheran, the “preachin’” of a Bible Belt Baptist congregation was profoundly different.
