Marty was QB my junior year.

There was game, and you guys lost. We also won my senior year by three or four touchdowns. We played at Lane Stadium. I always loved that place.

You keep asking the same question in different ways and I keep telling you the same answer.

I also have lifelong friendships made in high school but I don't think that is what you mean.

Considering my 4 best friends are all high school friends I doubt that was the conversation. It was about high school affiliation and the importance of it with people you don't specifically know from high school days.

You don't seem to be understanding where he went to school. These graduates aren't normal people like you and me. These are the kind of people that work a mention of St. Ignatius into the first few minutes of any conversation. Their graduates are heavy in the legal and political fields in Chicago. I'm sure if I were in the field of plumbing or HVAC a Gordon Tech degree might be a great networking tool.

I would like him to confirm this is true.

You guys are all just playing me now, right?

I have a white, male, suburban conservative arguing with me about making generalizations about white suburban males being conservative and a guy whose best friends are from high school questioning me valuing high school relationships.

Stop it. There are old guys from St. George's, which has been closed for decades, who still keep an affiliation with that place. You know this and you know it is true at the school formerly known as GT

You've all had your fun. Let's see how many times we can get dolphin to post the same thing. Ha, Ha. I can take a joke

Yet, if (and when) I do that in the Cub section you would bitch.

You are the one becoming unhinged.

You took a gratuitous shot at board members and tried to throw in race for some street cred. Leash and Spaulding called you out for it.

I've enjoyed your diversity "bit" here over the years. knowing where you were actually from, it always made me chuckle.

I'm trying to agree with you. I think the affiliation with Loyola or St. Ignatius, or even Fenwick is a more valuable commodity than one with GT. I know those old St. George guys are proud. A lot of people don't seem to care as much until they shut something down.

holy shit, you hit the nail on the head. Feel the exact same way.

I thought I was liberal until this election when I came to the realization that I hate liberals.

My diversity bit? I have no idea what that is.

Are you of the belief I live in a location and spend all my non working hours there (and have lived there my whole life)? I have been a volunteer participant in the greater Chicago community for thirty years, including teaching, building homes and advocating on social issues. Additionally, my work takes me into every part of this city. I don't shy away from involvement with people who are not like me in whatever way you might call diverse.

So your chuckling is like that of a mental patient at things only apparent to himself.

Crest sure has a talent for sending people over the edge.

Sorry to interject so late into this but my experience is Catholic High Schools had extremely strong groups for alumni as well as Father's clubs. The main purpose of these is obviously fundraising but networking is tremendous if you are in certain businesses.

Calling out someone who told me directly that he was doing a "bit" here is hardly the stuff of sending any person over the edge.

The need for self affirmation in front of others is odd though. Unless it's just a bit.

The quick version is this: Don't throw stones at people in the suburbs who choose to live in a nicer neighborhood while also choosing to live in the city but creating and helping to foster an exclusionary environment based only on what you happened to get in to as a 14 year old or your 14 year old kids happened to get in to.

I'm not judging you either for having a network like this that you admittedly tap into. I'm judging you for judging others who are doing it in a different way.

People make fun of goobers from St. Louis for obsessing over where people went to high school. I guess that's all we are here: St. Louis with high soda taxes.

The only one who obsesses here CH is you.

Some of us are proud of where we went to school. Apparently you may not be.

At what point did you start reading the thread? Be honest.

Do you think it is a positive attribute to not go into the city because, Seacrest and my silliness aside, that is the only stone that was thrown and it was admittedly gratuitous.
