Kids coming out of high school are coached better today. Nothing against the coaches I had in high school; I thought they were great coaches. But everything is so specialized now. I watch Gary Rankin (Riverdale head football coach). He was a teammate of mine at Tennessee. (Riverdale) has a different game plan for everybody they played.

My senior year at Central (1971-72) was the last year of Central High School.

There would be better kids in this world today if prayer was in school.

It's related in that it's school holidays and kids are not in school. Be it high school or college or middle school. Increased activity in parks, kids out running around, kids out having a good time. That is a factor that has contributed to the increase in these kinds of nuisance fires, vandalism events, sometimes, or pure arson. You always see an increase in activity this time of year.

I think that now it's clear what it is that we need to go work on. Today we honored the Columbia crew; we've brought the Discovery crew home safe.

That's the main complaint that people have today.
