When school is done and career path established, what do the Old Boys and Girls do in their spare time? Perhaps golfing, window shopping, F-1 racing, deep-sea fishing, reading, surfing the net or just working on their garden patch at home?

“Flying sharpens my mental faculties” he says.

I am an Old Boy of a Catholic (La Salle) school and a Buddhist. I take exceptions to the strong high profiling of the sex scandal involving the Catholic clergies. I feel strongly that the media attack on the Church and the Pope is a collective effort of people with hidden agenda and totally unjustified.
