Went to my first Catholic school in Alexandria when we moved there. I went through first and second grade and started third, then we moved to California. I continued Catholic school until the sixth grade. Actually very good schools. I probably could have passed most tests I took in high school when I was in the sixth grade. I was possibly the only Atheist altar boy in the church. I did it for the money. It was customary to tip the altar boys for funerals and weddings. $5 was not uncommon. That was pretty good money in the early 60s.
