I forgot to answer the question. Wasn't welcomed because of the plate and what it meant. Girls took offense and well he never could get a date with that plate. During the 10 year reunion the guys that laughed about it then found it offensive now. The women didn't forget and still didn't want to hang around him. I see kids now a days and I suppose things are different now since my generation. Geeesh... I feel old... Time to go to bed.
