Well, there was an athletic-looking young man (who looked like a college athlete; I thought he might be a football player for Rutgers) helping out there, and after an hour or so I asked him where he was in school and if he played ball for them...he said he played ball, but lacrosse was his sport. I told him that our family was a lax family (one son and two daughters play) and then asked him where he went to school, and he said he was between colleges. I asked him where he had gone to high school, and he said Delbarton.
I then said, "Hey...that's where that Duke lax guy played his high school lax..." And he looked at me and said "That's me." (Reade Seligmann).
I told him about FR and the support this board has given him and his mates. I cannot and will not report on what he said or didn't say for obvious reasons, but rest assure that I asked him no questions re that night.
What a kid--I was most impressed. And make sure all of you watch 60 minutes.
abb is off for some rec time so I've got the ping list for the next week. I probably won't be as diligent as "it-is-my-business-to-know" abb at finding all the new articles that are published so give me a ping when you find something and I'll ping the list.
Excellent, Pharmboy. Glad you made him aware of his efforts. Shortly, Mrs. Abb & I are headed south to the Redneck Riviera for the week. Y'all think about me while you're watching 60 Minutes tomorrow nite. Locomotive Breath and Howlin will handle the pings while I'm gone. See y'all in a week...

OMG, how interesting. And I am so glad you were there to tell him that other people, people he doesn't even know, are supporting him.
I hope it gave him some comfort.
And good on you.
Excellent!
Thanks for this report. If you two cross paths again, despite the dark clouds that are hanging over his head, please emphasize to him again that he had more friends and supporters than he can possibly imagine.
Good on you, good on Reade.
If you see him again, please tell him he and the other two are in our thoughts and prayers, and that we are doing our best to hammer away at the corruption and fallacies in the case, and that we are absolutely appalled at what is being done to them.
