SIR: Thank you for the lovely profile of St Columba's School on Friday last.

Just for the record, could we point out that ex-pupil John Dorgan, who does indeed have a starring role in 'Children's Hospital' is in fact an eminent surgeon, not an actor.

Though the series is most dramatic, it is the very real work done for children by John Dorgan that we were actually shouting about!
