Sept. 16, 1988 • The Concordian • 5 The Concordirn 6 Sept. 16, 1988 EDITORIAL Pleased to meet Bill It's amazing what one short experience can do to your life. Just an hour ago, there I was, complacent in my own little world.

Bill met me at the door. He was obviously glad to see me and definitely eager to get on with the interview. He asked me if I was from "the paper" and informed me that he was one of the people I would be talking to at the shelter. I went inside and my views about the homeless began to shatter. The Dorothy Day House was not at all what I had expected. Noise came from the kitchen, where one or two people were cleaning up, and from the living room, where a group sat watching "Monday Night Football." It was a beautiful old house with an inviting atmosphere — warm lighting, comfortable furniture and polished hardwood floors. Not at all the sterile and threatening environment I had imagined. Meeting Bill was an experience. Just looking at him shattered a few more perceptions. He didn't look like I expected a homeless person to look. He had on nice clothes and shoes. He was clean. Talking with Bill shattered the rest of my perceptions. He talked a lot. A lot. And Bill had a lot to say. In his words, "I feel better to speak my mind." He went to college for two years. He worked at an airline up until two years ago when his company merged with another airline. Bill is knowledgeable and articulate about current events. Bill doesn't drink and keeps healthy. Bill is smart. He has a lot of things figured out — things like if you don't have money, you don't count for much in this society. Things like you need to be young and healthy and have contacts LETTERS to get a job. preconceptions. I think that most, if tually deserted after 7 p.m. But Bill is also wise.
