I understand and I appreciate the gravity of the subject. i don't know the John in question. john 50yld 31 yrs post C-5 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, 28 Apr 2007 9:27 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] What should I do on my anniversary?
John, glad to hear that it was not a you they referred to and you are alive and well. But the John in question is still unknown. Below is the post that prompted the e-mail. Dan T. To me it sounded as if he was almost bipolar, but that is mere speculation based on all of the information I heard I don't believe I ever came out and said what truly was going on in JOHN's life. One of the truly sad part of the story was that he was actually on the phone with his best friend and his wife when the sheriff's department showed up, after being called to the scene by a concerned neighbor. Believe it or not, he told his friend and wife that he was going to have to go because the police were breaking down the door and he needed to end things. The deputies that went in to check on his well-being then heard a shot in the garage and found him there with a gunshot wound to the head. Many people around here, including myself, are really tore up about this, but one of the overwhelming emotions that comes out in this particular type of case is anger. Why did it have to come to this? The only good thing that came out of this is that the television station started to discuss suicide much more than they had in the past. I had noticed the absolute absence of the subject and considering that it accounts for many more deaths in my area than homicide, I think preventive measures and signs should be publicized much more readily by the broadcast systems.

Somehow I can't find the rest of this thread. I hope everyone is in good spirits. john -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 27 Apr 2007 10:37 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] What should I do on my anniversary?

When I was in the Army I went through a case where a young woman took her life and like most, there were signs that people missed. Thankfully the Army makes sure everyone has suicide prevention training on a yearly basis. I sincerely hope this station and the others in this area will consider similar measures. Thanks for the inquiry. Quadius On 4/24/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Did you ever know why he committed suicide? Dana he had no hope for some reason! See what's free at AOL.com.
