[lbo-talk] Vince Lombardi (Out of Iraq)

[Steven Gotzler]

Lombardi funded a boarding school in Wisconsin in the late 60's early 70's. 
It was called JFK Prep and was situated in the remnants of an old German 
religious commune, I think it was St. Naizians or something close.

The school had no grades, no classes, and half of the student body was inner 
city kids there on complete scholarship.  The place was a riot.  Lots of 
interesting people went there for the few years it existed.  Then it went 
broke I think.

I always wondered what Lombardi thought of the place.

Important point. Their sports teams always won, and their cheerleaders were 
almost all guys dressed in drag and they only did silent cheers.  But they 
won.
