In reply to: d. atkins '02 's message, "At about 4:30 PM yesterday, I was listening to 1050 radio. Sorry for the lack of details, but I do not know who the host nor the guest were. But they were talking about a Fordham guy driving up to Holy Cross for a basketball game. This Fordham guy apparently couldn't find it because he didn't realize that "Worcester� is pronounced Wuhs-Ster, so he missed all of the signs. The guest laughingly concluded, "that is a fordham education for you." Then he and the host had a few chuckles about it. Maybe I missed the context, but seemed like a low blow to me. Did anyone else catch this?" on Tue March 22, 2005 10:40:04

No. I am not hyper-sensitive at all. Like I said in the post, maybe I missed the context. And apparently I did. (NT) -- d. atkins'02, Tue March 22, 2005 12:17:44
- Perhaps the answer is that someone with a Fordham education is expected to be heading for the big time, not for Worcester. (NT) -- John, Tue March 22, 2005 12:48:51
