I think it's great that this is an opportunity to set a precedent. Rebecca Bermudez, president of Sam Houston Elementary's community council, said she's grateful that JR's has stepped in to help. I'm very much attuned to the fact that this is a gay community. They are our neighbors, and, by golly, they support the kids. When the school runs out of ice, someone goes to JR's.
Teachers park in the club's private lot.
Jack gave me the key to the gate of his parking lot. At Easter, JR's employees rented a school bus to transport kindergartners to an egg hunt at Lee Park. Two thousand candy-filled eggs were hidden. We didn't want anyone crying. The club also gave each child a stuffed bunny, chick or duck.
