He's one smart Cookie ~

Get to know the coroner ~ oh, so unconventional ~
So I was out of town - but now I am back ~ :)

Selbo: You were just re-elected in November to a second term of office. What would you like to accomplish in the next four years that you did not accomplish during your first four years?

Keller: Well, and it's really kind of started already. I want to get into even more schools and talk to even more kids. The schools in the area have had pre-prom events historically. That's when they would have the coroner come talk to the school. But I think that you really need to get in there repeatedly and frequently. And so what I've done is gotten a lot of my staff involved as well, and we're really getting into the schools now and classes and driver's ed. So we're getting in there repeatedly and then special programs that we're able to get put together. In order to be able to teach a teenager something you need to do so repeatedly and a little bit different each time, so it really starts to sink in.

Yet another ~ He passed away the afternoon of June 21, 2008

R.I.P. ~ yes another group on Facebook for their friend ~

They speak of him on facebook with shock, love and memories ~ I am finding facebook to be a wonderful place for those to memorialize & grieve for their friend.

"He was probably one of the most amazing, compassionate and nicest guys I've come across with in my life. It's hard to swallow the fact that he's gone, but he is in a better place now.. a much better place now.

Although this is a heartbreaking thing to have happened, along with mourning we should celebrate. Celebrate the life the life he lead. All the good times, and the funny things he would always say and do. If you knew him, or even encountered a moment with him, you know exactly what I'm talking about."

I don't quite know how many have succumbed to this terrible tragedy in our area - but it is many this past year.

I think of all of you with love and with hope that you are healing together in what I call "heaven"

Rock on Guys ~
