Pictures of Shane can be found in the 2002 and 2003 photo sections and a record of his Star Chamber files can be reviewed below.

Thanks for helping put this evening together. I am officially designating you Nick’s Chief of Staff. This means that if Nick ever hurts his pinky again and isn’t able to “stick it out” like last year, you will be in charge of all Star Chamber matters. I was thinking about making you director of social events and giving Anthony this responsibility, but everyone tells me that your social life is limited to hanging out with 8^th grade girls at Bishops and that wouldn’t sit well with most of the team except for maybe Andrew.

Enclosed are the goal sheets that many of you turned in as requested. If that player is in attendance, let him have his copy. This copy is for him to keep. If a player is there and never turned one in to me, give him a blank one and ask him to please fill it out and give it to Coach Pons. I’ll pick them up later. I want everyone to turn one in because I am going to make it a part of his summer binder. We want to personalize the binders more this year and having your goal sheet in it is one way of doing it. Have the guys proof read their sheet and let me know if I made any errors. I might have put someone else’s phone number on it or something like that. I did make some individual changes for some of you. Perhaps I felt we needed to modify a goal, so don’t worry about that. I’ll speak with each individual when I get a chance. Also, some players had left some items blank so I filled in something that I felt was important for them or for the team.

Please have each player read his personal goals and team goals out loud so that he can share them with everyone. This is important because none of you are going to accomplish any of these goals without the help of each other. We need to respect everyone’s thoughts and not ridicule anyone’s goals. This is part of being a team. I want all of you to think about your goals every day and work hard toward achieving them. Use your goals as a tool for motivation and as a means for staying out of trouble. If in the future some time you have to make a decision about whether or not to do something you aren’t sure of, ask yourself one question. Is what I am about to do going to help me reach my personal and team goals? If the answer is yes, go ahead and do it. If the answer is no. Don’t do it. It is that simple.

Thanks for taking care of this request for me. I’m very happy with the way that you handled your first assignment as Nick’s chief of staff at the last gathering. I hope you didn’t take much offense to all that stuff about being burned all the time last year. I was just kidding. It isn’t your fault that you were born slow. I understand that they didn’t take you up to varsity for the baseball playoffs because you don’t run the bases fast enough. Is this true? Don’t worry about it. At least you would be able to hit a batter if necessary. I hear the same can’t be said of Connor. By the way, I was glad to finally see you playing baseball for La Jolla and not the other team.

As you can see I have enclosed some photos in the envelope. These are extra prints that I want you to distribute to the guys. I do have a nice shot of you but I made an enlargement of it so you won’t find it here. Some of them are for the graduating seniors so I want you to give them to those guys when you see them at school. Tell everyone not to fight over any of the prints. Try to distribute them equitably as some of the shots have more than one of you in them. If there is a picture that two of you really like I can always get another print. Remember that there are some pictures that I have blown up into 11 by 14’s or 20 x 30 posters that I will put up at the start of the summer. I will be taking down all the old pictures and posters so tell the graduating seniors that I will be distributing those pictures to them in a few weeks.
