Donna Christopher - A big thumbs up Author | 03-10-2008 12:24:35
to the Middletown school which obviously still can see the benefit of vocational education. And a single digit salute to Upper Lake - Karen Riordan wasn't kidding when she told me in 05 that voc ed would NEVER come back to UL!! What is your motto - 'Go to college or go to hell, now get out of my office'?
