Nov. 20):<BR><A href="http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/taft-high-school-alumni-honors.html">http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/taft-high-school-alumni-honors.html</A></P> <P>It has already made a difference as students and teachers have learned that Terry went to Taft.&nbsp; Most are amazed and supportive of his induction.&nbsp; </P>
