[quote=Anonymous]I have very fond memorIes of childhood friends made from the various refugee waves that swept through the area in the 1970s and 80s. Persians, Afghans, Cambodians, Vietnamese, and Ethiopians newly arrived to the neighborhood we as kids had on a very vague idea of what some of them left behind. They were kids and we were all happy to have new kids to play with. My memory is that most of the children spoke flawless English. Even if their parents spoke very little. I also learned that kids from all over the world play some variation of dodge ball. Bring them on. I love this area. Refugees are gone for this co R[/quote]
