Please Accept My Apology
|
In the last issue of the Squash Ezine, we unintentionally used the word "on" instead of the word "to" in one of our article descriptions. Normally, this would be a minor error. However, in this case, the mistake transformed a sentence from an accurate description of a video into one which included inappropriate innuendo. I called the parties referenced in the article and apologized to them. And now I offer my apology to any reader who noticed the error. Sincerely,
Joseph M. McManus

Help This Kid
|
This is where the system (NUSEA) lets you down. You're smart. You're a good kid. You're poor. You get selected to Squashbusters.
You get into a NESCAC college to play squash. Your college is doing a training trip. You want to go. They aren't paying. This will be your senior year. In your junior year you went 15-8. You want to go. You swallow your pride and go to the internet. You put your name and your face out there and ask for help. No one answers. NUSEA isn't helping you now, 'cause you're no longer their press release. To see Randy Coplin's appeal, please click here.
