FOO GERARD... "I don't fully agree with you,"
---trust Gerard--- that's what he's famous for... walks

think his grey-matter is pretty low... some silly questions
he asks the teachers, and tells some of us he wants

hobby... wants to be a lawyer, mind you! Will join De
La Salle College in Australia next year.

ancestors.
