That's a good thought, Wayne, but what if the kids parents are stoners?


That happens of course, probably more often than we'd like to think.

Those parents however are probably not the ones concerned about their

kids getting into drugs (unless it's their drugs). :-)


agreed,Wayne. But it can go for lesser than that with two instances. A local gal threw a kegger for her son on his 16th birthday.(obviously bad parenting) And I was really mad at the chaperones at a local prom because a 17 year old showed up wobbling drunk. They kicked the kid out but watched him get in his car and drive away w/o calling the law. (obviously poor judgement for a school!)

Not good at all!

When our school puts on a dance, there is always a cop present along with all the 'volunteer'
teacher chaperones. When I went to high school, we had proms in the school, not off-campus at some
hotel ballroom. It wouldn't bother me a bit to see on-campus proms become the norm again.

My Prom was at the O-Club at Fort Belvior on a Monday night. Funniest thing was a guy, Matt
Smith, drove up to the front door and pulled into one of the General Officers reserved
parking spaces across from the main enterance. He got out of his car, walked around the car
and opened the door for his date to get out and proceeded to walk in. The Principal was out
front and told him he couldn't park there and he had to go park in the big lot. He told the
principal to call the MP's and ask them if he needed to move his vehicle. His dad was a one-
start Army general and the car had the star next to the sticker. I got to watch the whole
event while walking in from the big parking lot and just laughed.

Funny!

That club used to have a great Friday night seafood buffet. I'll have to give them a call and see if
they still do.
