[Vision2020] Speaking of Sports how bout St. Andy's Rugby?

[Deacon James]

Sadly, Keely, you have the wrong impression once again. I know of lots of

sports at the Junior High, High School, and College levels, as well as just
recreationally. This man of the chest personally approves whole-heartedly of
it.

Grrrrrr!
