She said that they'd often travel to Mason City for shopping or similar back in the day and there was an African-American family living across the way from one of the stores, and they were a very well-respected family in Mason. So that's very interesting...when I first saw it, I was as you saw above -- a bit amused that something like that would happen. Good to know we were ahead of the times in *something*.

My mom has told me lots about his high school days at North (Go Polar Bears!) in Des Moines in those days. North was not a segregated school, even 60 or more years ago, and Grandpa Jim had a diverse group of friends. One of his high school photos is on the wall of my house - Grandpa playing in a jazz band with other guys, black and white alike. There's always a lot of hype about how white-bread middle America is, and I always enjoy sharing the photo with people, knowing that Des Moines was at least a little ahead of the curve in terms to civil rights. If only I had a scanner I'd scan it and show it to you!
