I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I knew I had posted about Columbine before: I'm not familiar with this actor (Christopher Jones), but SSS's story about his breakdown after Tate's death makes me sad. Jake Plummer was never the same after Pat Tillman's death, and one of my former co-workers lost pretty much everything -- fiancee, job, home -- after one of his favorite teachers from high school was killed in the Columbine mass shooting. He quit his job here, saying he was going lo move back in with his parents in Littleton for a while. He severed ties here, and as far as I know, none of his local friends knows what became of him.
