Dear David:

I vociferously disagree with letter writer Daniel Mallett in today's newspaper. He endorses one publicly run secular school system. Having experienced nothing but great service by St.Gabriel Catholic Cyber School in St. Albert (which is actually the Public system there), I can say I have nothing but respect IV the Catholic system.

Yes I do favour a consolidation of joint facility's between Catholic & Public to bump up capacity's & save on administrative & utility costs. However I strongly favour the Catholic system staying independent. Edmonton Catholic Administration is fantastic beyond words! As are the kids in their schools!

Hail Mary,

Rory
