Hi, Dwight! I just finished your novel Growin' Up White and loved it! I grew up in Indy a little later than you and attended a successfully integrated Shortridge from 1964-1968. Boy, thankfully things had changed quite a lot by then! I will always treasure my time there. I also had a very progressive family and my dad helped start the NAACP and integrate downtown. Maybe your father knew him? Alan Nolan, lawyer
Dwight Ritter Hi Patrick,
Alan Nolan rings a bell, but I can't quite place it. Do you still live in Indy? I live on Cape cod and am scheduled for my second pr swing to Indy in October. Perhaps we could get together when I'm out there. My email is ritterco@comcast.net. I'll fill you in on Frog Island. Thanx for the note.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?
Dwight Ritter My most recent book is Growin' Up White. It's a coming-of-age story of a white boy growing up in a black neighborhood during the early 1950's. The idea has always been in my head since I was a white boy who grew up in a black neighborhood during the early civil rights explosions. Since then I have been actively involved in the civil rights movement in this country. . . have become very vocal and concerned with where we are going. I think my book captures this.
