No, Jennifer, and I think I understood that. I took your comment as a
starting point to focus the idea of Lelia's message as I saw it, because
I thought what she said was very important. We don't know what happened
between Nancy and the band director, but whatever it was, I'm sure Nancy
looked after the child. I asked about the age of a 4th grader, and was
told, 9/10 years old. It's pretty young to be involved in such a
conflict.

I was going to reply to the list, actually, but I didn't write it in
time to pre-empt the topic resurfacing in the thread entitled:

Re: [kl] Stand or Sit? (what about...?)

...where I think I've explained what I was going to say.

And to you, Jennifer.
