Elusive

Two hugs from patrons today who hadn't seen me for a while. How many jobs offer that as a benefit?

One was a patron from South Africa - long resident of US, but still has a glorious patrician look, accent, bearing. We were talking about her daughter at UVA who is a reporter for the school newspaper and has been in the thick of the fraternity/date/rape furor. Then conversation branched to the most recent murder there and the ones that preceded it. And the 15 unsolved murders along Rt. 29.

Suddenly I remembered one beautiful girl, daughter of a college classmate, on her way to marriage and life, when she stopped by the side of  Rt. 29..... forever.
