Sports links and a Dear Abby plug

During a quick perusal of Williamson A.M. this morning, I discovered two sports stories by Chip Cirillo I thought Ravenwood parents and students might like to read in case you missed the printed version. I'd also like to take this opportunity to say so long to Chip, who is leaving the Williamson County sports beat to return to The Tennessean's home office on Broadway in Nashville.
Chip's sports feature writing brought a wonderful dimension to Williamson County sports coverage and will be missed. The good news is that he will be covering prep sports so I'm sure we'll be seeing Brentwood datelines a lot when he covers Brentwood and Ravenwood high schools along with Brentwood Academy and the other private schools that draw student athletes from our city.

In the meantime, here are Chip's stories today:

Dear Abby, Dear Abby I have no complaints....
John Prine is my all-time favorite singer-songwriter bar none. Sometimes I wonder what he would write about life in Brentwood. We'll have to wait and see. But in the meantime, Dear Abby herself has an interesting series of letters today, page 5D of The Tennessean's Life section, that provide a perfect reflection of our life in the bubble.
The topic, living in affluent communities, really hits home. This is a constant source of discussion among my friends, my Parents of Teens Sunday School class, and my family.
Check it out. Would love to know what you think. Don't have the paper? I also found it online at http://www.uexpress.com/dearabby/
