As a follow-up. Does anyone have any insight into Judge Memorial HS -- specifically as an active LDS student attending Judge?

All the guys who go to judge wear Royal Robbin ball caps and had long hair they tucked behind their ears.

Ok, a few more thoughts I've had recently......
I've had a standing rule that I won't do business with family, friends, or people I see on a regular basis (i.e. ward/stake members, neighbors). By business, I mean investments, investing, accountant, dentist, doctor, attorney.......basically when there's health or money involved, I try to find professionals that come highly recommended from others, but, have no real attachment to my daily/weekly life. If things go south, I don't want to have to interact with that person with any regularity. In Utah, I've already broken that rule by hiring my wife's close friend as a realtor, and her husband as a CPA/tax guy. They are both close to retirement, so I figure they're just transitional until we find someone permanent.
Anyway, I have a high school friend who is supposed to be an outstanding dentist. Some of my other high school friends have gone to him for years without issue. He's not LDS, doesn't live near me, and I haven't seen him for 15 years. He does, however, live a couple of blocks from my parents, although in 15 years they've not had much interaction with him. Do you think he meets my criteria as an arm-length professional, or should I keep looking around?? -- maybe this should go under a "stupid thoughts" thread or something.

Since no one else has posted, I thought I would add some thoughts.
1. If you have not seen him for 15 years, can he still be called a friend. Sounds more like an acquaintance at this point.
2. Even if just an acquaintance, I wouldn't do it. There are a bunch of people I knew in H.S. who are pretty accomplished, but wouldn't go to them for services, would still be weird. I mean, I knew them when they were stupid kids like me and I could never shake that.

I can concur with this. Utah has more than its fair share of incompetent skid marks behind the wheel.

This past month has really solidified that I was away too long. With HS baseball season in full bloom now, we've played some really funky high schools. East, West, Highland, Skyline, Olympus, Murray, Bountiful, Viewmont, Davis, Orem, Provo, Judge etc..... Those I've got. Don't need directions. But, here's a few of the teams we've played, or have seen play.....
Wake(something)
Fremont
Lone Peak
Salem Hills
Canyon Hills? -- Sandy
Stansbury
Herriman
Northridge?
I'm pretty sure these are all less than 25 years old. Also, NEWSFLASH - Granite closed.

No nearly as many kids on the east side. Olympus was in a death spiral for a while too until they picked up all the kids from Granite. Then they rebuilt Olympus. You should check it out.I'm pretty sure these are all less than 25 years old. Also, NEWSFLASH - Granite closed.
