Stanton Smith to The Citadel
Much goings on related to our latest pieces: One was picked up by Kurdish Media; another by NewsBusters, a project of Media Research Center (yes, Brent Bozell's group). The NewsBusters version was also included in Rush Limbaugh's Daily Stack of Stuff. Also, Lucianne.com Michael Reagan's site, and countless blogs and other news outlets, which I'll get to later.
The most exciting news of the day, however, is Stanton Smith (yes, the good-looking pitcher in the picture) committing to The Citadel on a Vandiver athletic scholarship. He's currently a student at Hopewell High School in Charlotte, N.C.
Though we have the same last name, Stanton and I are of no blood-relation other than the fact that his dad, Danny, and I are life-long friends (and when we were in high school, we told people we were brothers).
Stanton's mom, Debbie is one of the finest, most beautiful - inside and out - women I know. Stanton's paternal granddad, Roland Smith, is a former U.S. Marine. His maternal granddad, Bill Foster, is a retired NCAA head basketball coach who once coached the Gamecocks.
Not surprisingly, Stanton is a superb young man on and off the mound, and I'm thrilled that he's going to be part of the Bulldog Baseball Team and a member of South Carolina's famous Corps of Cadets.
Best,
