You have got to be kidding, suggesting that kids bring laptops to the boat
house. Claire had her ipod stolen during a crew practice last year, I can only
imagine what would happen with a bunch of laptops laying around. Even if they
aren't stolen, knowing how spaced out kids can be I would bet a number of them
would forget their laptops and send parents scurrying down there after work to
try and find them.

Please ask coaches to remind kids NOT to bring anything of value with them to
practice.
