He was a very good teacher. I ran into him at a party later, during what I'm sure was in the early years of his addiction madness. I could see he was losing control of his life and was saddened. I, too found the information on his victory and his letter to students on the web after Bush commuted his sentence and was happy to hear about his victories.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you and Reed got the help you needed to get back on top. I'm thankful I did not have that battle myself but sorry I had to battle it with loved-ones around me. I battle the ramifications every day. It is a curse that affects families and individuals in so many ways, so deeply for so long. Getting the word out helps prevent tragedy--hopefully someone reading this gets the message and avoids the madness.iehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868599501253079855noreply@blogger.com
