How many of our fire members are in the same socioeconomic stratus they were born into? How many are lower? How many are higher?
I have remained the same. I am a product of the environment I was raised in.

"That has a whole lot to do with it. I could do a better job of giving money to charity. The one I do donate to on a regular basis is Son of a Saint.

They use their money to bring at risk fatherless black kids into a program full of mentors who work very closely with them all the way through their school years.
Guess what the typical social and educational outcomes are?"
