MILTON New school name weII-deserved DEAR EDITOR: l'm writing in response ta Chris Greenfîelds Marcb il letter entitled, 'Not a good namne for new schooi.' Perhaps my opinion doesn't hold much clout because 1 don't bave any children. Hawever, 1 do bave some common sense and the belief that chil- dren are flot destined ta become figbters because their schooî is named after a former wresticr. 1 suppose if people didn't have anything ta complain about there would be no need for the 'Readers Write' section of the Champion. Not only is Tigerjeet Singh a former entertaîn- er, bes a long-standing, active niemnber af the community, and also happens ta bc an the short list of truly notable Miltonians of tbis gencratian.

I thinkxc shouid celebrate ibis nexsý school for what it is - another education taeilitx ta accamn- modate aur ever-grawing town. I wouîd like ta i.ongratulate Mr. Singh on this great honour.
