He just couldn't find anywhere to go without being around the boozers. App takes pride in having heavy boozers. They try to outdo the Heels and Pirates. One of his close relatives (maybe father or grandfather) was a heavy drinker or even classified as a classic alcoholic so Seth has an aversion to booze. He graduated from App with honors and is now a mortiticain (or a least a test or two from being fulling licensed. Seth can already do embalming under supervision. He makes more money working a few days and nights a week than I ever did coaching and teaching.BallantyneApp wrote: ↑Mon Jun 26, 2023 1:57 pmDid he catch the alcoholism from being around those heavy drinkers?NewApp wrote: ↑Sat Jun 24, 2023 7:51 pmNot drinking is a good idea for most of us but there is absolutely no place in the stadium to not be around beer or people with airplane bottles hidden. My friend (Seth Cashion) the recent ASU student , now college graduate was able to get in the stadium anytime he wanted to with his student pass, but there was no place he could go without being around heavy drinkers. No where, Not even the friggin bathrooms for heaven sake.
I think you'll agree that stats show that the earlier one starts drinking the more likely they will be a problem drinker in adulthood. The more you are around boozers, the more likely one is to be a problem drinker. It's hard for a college kid to turn down the first beer in a crowd.
In my family, a first or second cousin (E.C Stamper or EC Stamper, Jr) played AAA baseball for a few years and ended up with Baltimore. Lasted a year or so and the bottle got to him and he died on the streets of Salisbury...homeless.
My civic club actually helped Seth through App with scholarship money and one of the members found him the job with one of the funeral homes in Boone. Stayed in an apartment in the funeral home complex his jr and sr years at App He is President-elect in our club and will be the youngest Kiwanis President on record.
We're proud of him.
