    Glenna E. Brambill remembers being teased at school because of her New York accent when she first moved to Willow Glen in 1962. But the names she was called by her fourth-grade classmates at Gardner Elementary didn't refer to how she spoke, but to her African-American ethnicity. "It just never happened," Brambill says now, reflecting on what school had been like in New York before she moved here. "When I first got here from New York, I really didn't understand why they thought I was different. [In New York,] we knew we were all different and we just got along. [Coming to Willow Glen] was a rude awakening."   More
