Alice and I were awakened at 6:30 by the sound of hammers, etc, as the coaches erected their respective staging just outside our window. When was the last time your collegiate son was up at that hour, doing something significant? B&A is color war — done the Kingswood way, which is to say with good sportsmanship. Thus, I will run the meeting beforehand in the Great Room and below is the agenda. I love these questions and the boys’ replies, I can already inform you, will be clever and varied, but mostly “spot on,” so that when we finally arrive at #10, the consensus will quickly become “because we want it to be,” and that, folks, is what it is all about — for Kingswood and for life itself!
