| Guys,
You reminded me of something very sad, Chuck. When I first arrived here, in MN., we got to be good friends with our realtor and her family. We got to know her two boys and i got to watch them grow up until they moved to Michigan and then Florida. Well, the oldest went away to school and you can probably guess what i'm going to say.
I got a phone message one night from the Dad: "Manny and C--------, it's T----. I have some very, very sad news." His voice began breaking. "E--- was killed last night." I called him and he told me how his boy got high and went out of his mind and threw himself of a roof or at least that's the version he got. Whether it was a drug-induced suicide or a murder by drug dealers it boiled down to a beautiful life ended for no good reason. I can still see him as a little boy I used to play with and toss in the air. Nobody was there to catch this sweet, shy kid.
So, Lara, I'm not saying that a class would have helped, I'm not saying that at all. But you never know what an impression info like that can make.
