Thank you, Sonja. He did dumb thing. When I was at the Capstone, I did some dumb things,too. I look back now & wonder how I survived it. I'm not excusing it. All students who drink large amounts in college does not equate to them being or becoming alcoholics. It's been done forever & probably always will be. Does it make right....certainly not. He should be punished by Coach Fran & accept the due process of the law, whatever those consequences may be. I hate it for him, his family & the team. He's got to be held accountable. He's not a bad kid, just one who did something dumb & because of his "position" is being singled out as if he is the only one who has ever done anything so irresponsible as this. I am thankful that he wasn't injured or killed & no one else was involved. That is something to be thankful for.
How are you by the way?
