kerouac says

i got an email from an old teacher today letting me know that this guy who taught at my high school died in his sleep last night at 59. which is terrible and odd and the weirder thing is that i can't find any information about it at all on the interwebs. i checked the hometown paper, my high school's website .. . olympia isn't the fastest moving place on the planet, but usually when someone dies, they announce it.

i did, however, find ample coverage of this.

hoquiam, you are not safe.
