Dear Harold, Maine has a very strong and caring community, which is one reason why I moved here. It unfortunately is not immune to incidents of hatred. Even PWP's can get stared at in a mall. I believe a positive attitude is the only way to live. But, I just want to say how supported I feel by all of you. I found out today that my friend Leon will remembered by his family some time this summer. Third-hand information says that he lost his life to a bullet that was self-inflicted, but this contrasts a claim that he was strangled. For me, the case is not closed. The other man is still unnamed, and his death , still considered to be a homicide, was supposedly mentioned briefly on the Augusta area news media in late February. Again, second-hand information I can not confirm. The consensus is to respect the family of my friend, and allow time for them to adjust. I never travel alone if possible. I take precautions. I am still fighting PD vigorously and always will be dedicated to the PD community, and I will be there as much as possible. I am blessed by the support this wonderful List shows to anyone in crisis. Thank you Harold, and all of you. Ivan On Mon, 17 May 1999 18:53:06 -0400 Harold Jones <[log in to unmask]> writes: >Ivan: Your posting about two murders in Augusta caught my attention. >
