[Vision2020] assistant football coach/"disturbing the peace"

[Carl Westberg]

While I quite agree with your disgust regarding this matter, Joan, I must 
take issue with your dissing of the University of East Sprague Tom Cat Club. 
  It's an exceptional private school, where I earned several advanced 
degrees, along with a PHD from the College of Deja Vu.                       
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
                            Carl Westberg Jr.
