Joanna,
This is where I get off the train. Please don't
stigmatize me in absentia. I have never given shelter
to students nor protected them from each other. (I
wish now I had.) I know nothing of these murderous
assaults except what I've read in the newspapers. And
I don't mean the sports page.
Please help me find the person(s) who have treated our
class with such brutality.
Thank you--Candice Ward
