This one goes out to all the Troy High School students who had Fred McDougall for American History in high school. I’m sure you all remember Fred if you were in his class. He was a good teacher, and very interesting because he quoted Winston Churchill’s most offensive statements and threatened physical violence against slackers. [...]
I feel that it is important to share this with whoever happens to come across it. Maybe it will make a difference, who knows; I never know how many people read these anyway.
