Competing contest created
Friday, October 27th, 2006WORCESTER— A local coalition’s attempts to persuade more high school students to withhold their contact information from military recruiters has spurred a Westboro man to fund a competing contest.
Edward F. Behn of Westboro, whose oldest son is a U.S. Marine serving in Iraq, has offered to donate $2,500 to the Disabled American Veterans Charitable Service Trust in honor of the Worcester high school senior class with the lowest percentage of students who “opt out” of allowing information about themselves to be provided to recruiters.
