Feef, we finally got caught up. Maggie and I got our grades turned in, recorded a multi-day virtual graduation, analyzed data, created virtual lessons for next year, in the likelihood that we will need to have them ready to go, and said tearful goodbyes to some of our students.

Sad to see them leave our high school, but so excited to see where this life's journey leads

them and to hear about their successes along the way. And we want to take this moment to thank

you, listeners, for bearing with us last week to give us that extra time to get work

completed maggie and i debated and we finally decided that we could not bear the thought of

giving short shrift to anyone's story especially since our goal is to always be thorough in the hopes of finding closure for the

families of our victims. We decided, even though it meant taking a week off, that we just

couldn't justify it in our hearts to tell a story only having done cursory research, you

deserve more than that. And what's more, our victims and their families deserve more than that.

So thank you again for understanding and for sticking with us.

We hope you're doing well.

It's odd because even though we have the world at our fingertips with technology,

this COVID pandemic has made so many of us feel isolated and alone.

It sometimes feels like we're living in a vacuum.

Maggie and I feel it too.

It's funny because I think Maggie and I need you guys, even more than you need us.

We don't want you to ever feel that this podcast is just us telling stories, that it's one-sided.

The opposite is true.

This needs to be a conversation.

We want to hear your thoughts, your theories, your personal connections.

So after you listen to our episode, please leave us a comment.
