Joyce Doane joined our high school class when we entered the ninth grade, the start of high school in that town. But she was a stranger, an alien. Her mistake had been getting born in Canada.
Not far from our town, though. Her small village of Sombra, Ontario, was straight across the St. Clair River from our town of Marine City, Michigan. That river is one mile wide and 28 miles long. Steve Bogdonovic drove in from 12 miles out in the country and was perceived as one of us. But Joyce, who came from only one mile away, was cast as a stranger.
