From Tim Looney: Nice article. But as a Jesuit grad, I would have to take issue with your assessment of Byrd as having "the best academics. From Bill Smith: Absolutely outstanding blog. I had many friends at Byrd. But we loved beating them. And be honest, I loved "We are the Jackets. From Alice Richardson: Since I began and ended my teaching career at Byrd, with many, many years at Woodlawn in between, I love both schools. Byrd -- well, Byrd will always be wonderful. Woodlawn is like a once grand but now aging queen, who is searching for what once was hers -- Camelot.
My heart is with both schools. From Jan Prothro: Excellent. Your work always takes me along on adventures. From Charlotte Hudson Ewing: You better not show up there, invited or not!

Remember who you are and don't fraternize with the enemy! Fred Phillips was a skydiver when Adrian, my husband, had his skydiving business in Shreveport at the downtown airport. Adrian has fond memories of him.
There is a street over by Wal-Mart named Jump Run. Fred named that street. Jump Run is the final stretch in the airplane just before the skydivers jump out. Sorry to say I don't remember who Alma played that night, but it was the same tune. From Danny Goldberg: Well, you outdid yourself writing this article. It sounded like you were wishing you had graduated from Byrd instead of Woodlawn, but I continued to read it and it was apparent that your loyalty was to your alma mater.
