By the way, the word is that, despite all the criticism, the board hasn't changed a bit. Lots of hush-hush stuff, And mum's-the-word meetings.

However, I hoped that you would have been sensitive enough to give the individuals on the team proper recognition for their outstanding achievement. Being secondjn the province in no small feat! These 13-yearolds generated high praise from the AAA Tournament omeiau, the CNE Tournament omeials and even CITYTV in Toronto, I feel their hometown media should give them the recognition they deserve. The parents and grandparents of these young men were very proud of them and thought all of Waterloo should share in that pride.
