"1 don't mind say: ing it when it's the truth," he says. But probably one of the more humorous, yet thought-provoking, periods in his life came in 1968 when he was one of the first blacks to enter the then predominantly white R.J. Reynolds High School. Friendesays that as a child much of his space was : confined to the black community ana tnat leaving., $ Atkins High in his senior year to go to Reynolds pro; ved to be a culture shock to him as well as to his new ^ classmates. "The whole ordeal was analagous to having a job, and it was traumatic," says a now more confident Friende. "The year I went to Reynolds, Martin Luther King was killed and it was strange. "My classmates viewed him as a radical as opposed to the real person he was," he says. "They didn't find that out until after his death." Through it all, Friende says he dealt with his senior year at Reynolds like a nine-to-five job, but there was ; - one incident at the school that stands out like a sore thumb. "It snowed one time," he says, "and one of my : classmates asked me if it snowed in (predominantly black) East Winston, and I probably lived closer to Reynolds than she did. "I couldn't make that up," he says. "It really happened, but I don't think she meant any harm." An electrical engineering graduate of Howard University, Friende received his law degree from Emory University in Georgia. His trial, he says, came when studying for the N.C. bar exam, which he thinks was a breeze. Nevertheless, Friende says the life of "a law yer is not as glamorous as uoscrvcrs mm*. 441 really enjoy my work and I get a great deal of satisfaction working for myself," he says. "But along with the rewards there are a lot of extra headaches, and you don't make a dime until you pay everybody else." % son receive promot ^89 K; > iP^HB nrtIIllLrV*r Duplicate Bridge Club at Rupert Bell Recreation attracting new convention Center last Friday, business.
