Holy rich people! Well, I've been biased against Wyoming Seminary since the 60s, when I went to adjoining West Side Central Catholic High School, later Bishop O'Reilly.
Whenever we would interact with Sem kids -- especially at places like the Dairy where everyone would hang out -- they would act as if we were serfs and they were landed gentry.
Still, it surprises me that Sem would be so tone-deaf in doing this for Mericle. Guess it shows that money is far more important than anything else for the Sem movers and shakers.
From Steve Corbett's column:
The once-prestigious Wyoming Seminary in Kingston – just blocks from where the late Mafia boss Russell Buffalno lived, by the way – recently accepted Mericle's help in building a new athletic field and were so grateful that they named the field after him. A grand ceremony is planned for later this month to honor his good character and community service.
So while Wyoming Seminary's elite supposedly shapes young minds to help shape a better future, they choose to overlook Mericle's central role in the "Kids For Cash:" horror where two Mericle fiends/ friends, sold children into slavery for money – two million dollars of which came from Mericle.
