Subject:	Reb Shlomo
Message:	Everybody knows that Reb Shlomo recieved Smicha from Rav Hutner. by the way, half of your rabbeim in yeshiva growing up never had smicha but you still called em rabbi! Unlike many rabbis who are full of themselves, shlomo never requested to be called rabbi and allways told poeple to just call him shlomo.

Reply:	Yea, So......... Maybe he knew that Rav Hutner would never have given him Smicha if he would have known what would happen to his "Reb Shlomo". Being the honest person that he was, he felt the title "Rabbi" was undeserving. CYA
