Hopefully I'll be back on the Cape and Nantucket this summer. I truly like your work - best wishes - keep snapping those photos. =Paul This photo reminds me of times when I lived in Bass River – misty mornings, light a fire, cup of coffee – perfection!

To this day I'm still upset with MTMS for not telling us. I know why they didn't, but I don't agree that it was the best course of action. Yeah, I think my whole family is.

I would love to sit down and talk about this with you one day. I've been thinking a lot about my experience that day and realized that I still have you and Michael among my close friends from childhood who had the same experience I did. I think the administration chose not to tell us what happened precisely because so many of us could have been so closely affected by it. Can you imagine the panic you would have felt had you not heard it from your mother knowing your father could be there? I remember feeling angry when I got off the school bus, very aware that a huge secret was kept from me. Looking back as an adult, remembering so vividly that one little pay phone outside the auditorium, I can only imagine the scene if they had chosen to gather us and tell us what happened. What if a student's parent <i>was</i> there? I am so thankful that we didn't have to face that alone. That we had our families around us when we learned that our world changed. I am so glad your father had a meeting in Princeton that day, Chase. It was really enlightening to read this. I would love to sit down and talk about this with you one day.
