think it's not even a question to be asked as dodd himself used to visit each and every year alpha school and the students there would jam and perform the standards that alpha boys most reknown alumni have written.so it's a recognition of sister ignatius through alpha boys school

There's a nice picture on the site of Mr Dodd with Sister Ignatius in front of the band practice hall at Alpha, surrounded by sound equipment and musical paraphenalia too:

I'm glad you like the site Rob - kind of you to say so.

And well done for ordering the coasters - Alpha could use the boost.

In case anyone missed it, the documentary is available again at:

Presumably its only available for a limited period once again.
