clarifies remarks

‘Dear Editor:

1 have come to believe that
Nellic McClung’s maxim, ‘Never
apologize, never explain,’’ is good
advice under many circumstances.

However, I think that apologies
are in order in light of a recent
North Shore News article.

I have realized that even when a
reporter is ‘on your side,”’ real
care must be used, if there is the
possibility of being quoted.

In the article, ‘Movin’ on up’’
(June 16), when 1 used the term
“at ‘the other place,’’ 1 meant no
disrespect to the nearly 20 years of
dedicated, untiring and intelligent
work that had made it possible to

Dear Editor:

I received’ a lovely invitation to
attend my ‘daughter’s Grade 6
graduation ceremony.

__ As these were her last moments
in. elementary school, I surely
.wanted to be there.

All the students looked excited
and full of anticipation as they
toad in front of their proud
/ / parents.

Since this. was their ‘final mo-

‘school and next fall they would
start higa school, I was sure every

certificate .or award — for every
student is good at something

Secondly, the “I'm equal with
whoever comes in to see me’’
should have been said: ‘A round
table contributes to the equality of
those sitting around it, and that is
the way I like to work.”’

All that being said, I am ‘deeply
appreciative to Robyn Brown for
being an honest and caring
‘reporter, who gets her facts
straight, and is supportive of
women’s issues.

whether it be sports, music, art,
math, science, writing, reading,
public speaking or spelling.

1 was wrong and disappointed
and I was not the only one.

1 will never forget the faces of
some of many students who left
with sad, disappointed faces and
empty hands.

All I can say is | am glad 1 have
no more children in Ridgeview
school, for I would have to take
them out and like so many others
have done, put them in private
schools.
