The real problem is not that Vets is closing it wouldn't' t be if Pilgrim or Toll Gate were closing> The solution once they close is the problem. My father was in the first graduating class at vets in 56. He had gone to Aldrich before that. He was on football basketball and baseball team. He had mentioned at first it was difficult but soon after it was awesome.. The sport teams were outstanding along with the arts and diversity of the school. The school band was huge. There was real pride. What needs to be done is for Warwick to build a super high school like North Kingstown. Property values would rise and business at least small business would grow around it. We could have the number one high school in the state. The problem with Mr. D'Agastino and company is they do not think outside the box. They want to save money and there plan would but there is no long term plan. Warwick at one time had the biggest Pal Babe Ruth league in the country. A state of the art baseball facility in Mickey Stevens complex. along with great rink and pool which now are all in dire need of repair. We had the largest dinner all in the World along with an amazing amusement park. I graduated from vets in 83 and I am sad it is going but what is worse is band aid patch work minor league leadership from the administration. Sincerely, Stephen McMnaus
