Got a call from my wife this morning. She's a high school art teacher. Her best student wasn't at school and she was worried. His friends were looking for him. Got another call this afternoon. He'd committed suicide. My wife teaches in a pretty tough school and it's hard to find good students that make her career seem worthwhile. He was one. Serious artist, been studying with my wife for a number of years. Had a great chance at an art scholarship to a good school. No clue as to why he did it but our house will be in mourning.
