<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In regard to my last posting about school
consolidation,I would like to clarify.I did not mean to in any way disrespect
Mr. Hubbell and the heroic work he is doiing.Apparently others do not
aggree ,and I have already recieved and duly noted their concerns.One even said
I had a "backsider" mentality.I am not from here,and had to learn what that
meant.But the writer used it with ease and fluency.person .Call it what
you want,but my point is that to not have an all-inclusive discussion on the
issues of consolidation,is to sell the debate short.Theres no getting around the
demographic issue,and I was simply trying,clumsily, to frame it.I once again
appoligize to anyone I may have offended,and in the future I will try to be more
eloquent and less visceral .</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
