Reade did,however, attend what you describe as a "lesbian sex show" and was responsible for "actively participating" in what you describe as a "boozefest",(drinking) both of which are legal in North Carolina. (Prohibition ended in 1933).<BR/><BR/>For these actions, however unacceptable they may be to you, a young man should not face 30 years in prison. It was the way in which Reade handled this situation that was most courageous and noble.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32542246.post-49035737892711992012007-04-27T06:58:00.000-04:002007-04-27T06:58:00.000-04:00We are all proud of Reade and the much deserved re...We are all proud of Reade and the much deserved recognition. I have a son and can only wish that he attended Delbarton School. I am impressed by their spirit and attitude and must assume that Reade is just one of the many fine young men who are being nurtured there.

Someone who was pictured actively drinking at an all day boozefest in the same room where women were hired for a lesbian sex show and these minority women then were assailed by racial epithets has been awarded a medal! This is a poor example to send to high school students and cheapens the award given previously to a true hero, a Holocaust surviver and witness!
