I'm going to try this again. There haven't been any new issues on this site, just the same old stuff being batted about without any hope of resolution. I stated my points and others obviously disagreed with them. Finally a new topic; although one I wish hadn't happened.
I'm going to say something that will probably partially surprise many of the HLA dissenters out there - I think it was arson. However, I think a stronger case can be made for a HLA-hater than Dr. B.
Apparently, Dr. B was in Atlanta when he received the call in the middle of the night according to my sources. It seems as though a few are trying desperately to say Dr. B set the fire. I have a hard time seeing him in a black cat suit skulking around campus in the middle of the night, setting fire, and traveling at warp factor 6 to Atlanta to take the call.
Before the two or three "Dr, B did it!" conspiracy theory proponents keep drifting too far from reality toward a thorazine drip, has anyone thought about the arsonist being one of the HLA-haters on this site? As someone said in a prior post, the field can be narrowed to about a thousand people. Setting a fire that close to a graduation would be more likely done by someone who wanted to tarnish HLA in front of many family and friends, not a staff member/HLA-supporter focused on giving the graduates a well-deserved ceremony.
I hope whomever did this is quickly arrested and fully prosecuted. I really feel sorry for the teachers losing their classrooms. Even if they didn't have any personal posessions in there, it is still their "place". I heard Hawley lost a great deal of personal items. He's a great and genuine person.
For the record, sprinklers aren't required in that area of the country. Fire alarms probably went off, but if they aren't connected to a horn outside, there's little warning without seeing some evidence of a fire. I'm just glad everyone was safe. The financial records should be easily reconstructed from redundant information from parents, CPA, banks, etc.
Peace. :-? (can't smile with this incident)
