Richard,
What difference does it make.
Public schools are "our" schools and private schools are not "ours". Catholic schools are private schools, and by Baptism shortly after birth, I am Catholic. I take offense to non-Catholics claiming "our" schools. As you well know, there is a considerable sacrifice on the part of many parents choosing to send their children to private schools.
Richard,
It isn't my school either but the continual accusations of recruiting tarnish this sport as whole. Why are you bothered that Eric defends STA?
I am not bothered that anyone would choose to defend STA. The record will reflect I was a defender of STA several years ago on this fourm when recruiting charges were raised.
Richard,
If you have a personal axe to grind with The Chief, keep it to a PM.
Since I do not generally respond to PM's from this board I can not follow your order.
Richard,
Hats off to John Mason for doing what he felt was best for his 'son.
I too wish the Mason's the best.
