Any attempt to exclude the private school children from full participation in the athletic association is simply not fair, |
First squad, they were the biggest bunch of pranksters, ... They were always playing crazy tricks on each other. |

The whole impetus came from a handful of members who really said we need to do a relief effort. |
There's been an outpouring of support. We're looking forward to a tremendous event on the 29 and 30. |
