To Pay Our Respects - A Local Tragedy

As I sit here in this cozy little coffee shop, so cozy I am served my decaf in a Christmas coffee cup, I reflect. Tragedy has struck our fair city. Conor Lynch, 16, of Notre Dame High, resident of sweet and cozy Sherman Oaks, has been hit by an 18 year old female of Van Nuys. I will not be posting her name. (Excuse me as I sip softly the warm concoction from my holiday cup.)

Conor, a local athlete and junior of his highschool, was running with his running mates of the cross country sect, in an afternoon workout, not far from campus. He was fatally injured at approximately 3:45 p.m. as the driver continued on for reasons unknown at this time. Two lives ruined, one destroyed.

Conor's doting mother would often follow him in her vehicle to insure his safety. NOW, questions arise about the safety of cross country? Now? In this day and age, it is not safe to participate in that extra curricular activity. The ever loving mom had the right idea.
