They were told the charges were dropped so... and then multiple face palm emojis came I think “charges were dropped” is commonly put forward (with the inference being due to lack of merit) but that’s not what actually happened. A fee was paid and the record cleared. Kinda like a driving ticket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess stranger things have happened. Wernher von Braun went from V2 rockets to strategic positions at NASA, but he had unique skills. In today’s world if the charges were dropped and that was the basis for denial, lawsuits could abound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being patient and not rushing to fill the brass line. The Cadets are determined to build a great brass line. I love the Cadets and if they have to strip it down to the studs and come out great on the other side, I don’t care. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dropbox item at your link says that Noonan spoke with Tricia Nadolny before his passing. Given that she never published a story on this subject, it would seem there is not enough evidence for it to go public. Edited to add that one of Nadolny's former colleagues at the Philadelphia Inquirer, Lisa Gartner, today won a Polk Award for excellence in journalism for a story "exposing a pattern of violent abuse of boys at the Glen Mills Schools, a 193-year-old reformatory in suburban Delaware County". In a tweet responding to news of the award, Gartner thanked a number of people she's worked with, including Nadolny. Nadolny's latest story at USA Today concerns a sex scandal at a Baptist church in Oak Hill, PA. Edited February 19, 2020 by N.E.
