Subject: What is happening to this world

What is this world coming too with Lawyers dominating the way ?

What a shame there seems to be...... a steamroller of legal threat to crush a unique older generation of enthusiasm... isn't their a way of common good and evolving relationships..... isn't their a way to resolve issues...

I felt violated and sickened by an email signed by Lawyers over this issue.
And choose to remove myself from association with this type of attitude that brings only memories of Sergant Murray Belting me because of a Lying Prefect attaining sadistic satisfaction and personal sexual gratification...

Your school was very sick and still is sick..

My children have found a better life at Grammar.

I would not send them to a similar fate as mine.

I am offended with your reply and don't want any part in it.

Remove me from your email please Gavin Solomon

thank you Mike Middleton

> As chairman of the Scots Foundation, as a 2nd generation old boy (1972) and

> The College Council with the support and work of the Foundation has just

> the College Family including support groups, womens association, foundation,

> 2. had the website previously presented to its President both
> informally and formally.
> 3. held discussions with the old boys nominated webmaster - Reg Cook.
> 4. been directed by College Council to work with the Scots Family to

> 5. been aware of the massive task that we have just completed in

> - a task that the old boys union have ignored - the College now has the

> had addresses for some 5,800 old boys.
> 6. The Roll Call includes the task of getting the addresses and email
> addresses for every old boy - a task that will take us some time.
> 7. decided for their own selfish and unknown reasons not to use the

> is fully integrated with the entire Scots College website.
>
> BOTTOM LINE - the current old boys have ignored the College's current
> initiatives for their own reasons (which I, for one, cannot comprehend). The
> Old boys have ignored the opportunity to use the new part of the website

> I humbly request that you each focus all your efforts to impress upon the

> placed before the Old Boys Union.

> Remember, we all have the same desire - to help the College and the current
> students as well as build on the glories of the past - and the friendship
> and support of all Old Boys.
