More on Laura Walker
Searching around to find more information on Laura's death, because obsessively seeking knowledge is how I cope with grief, I found the following article that Laura wrote a few weeks ago about her mission in Afghanistan: The Route to Democracy. Also a tribute post from the Ezine blog after finding out that Laura died.
Sad News: SHAPE Classmate Dies in Afghanistan
Laura Walker, a friend and classmate of mine from the class of 1999 at S.H.A.P.E. American High School, was killed in Afghanistan on August 18th. Laura was a terrific person who I wish I'd gotten to know better. My thoughts are with those whose loss is greatest: her family and all those who loved her.

Comedy Night
Last night Diane and I went out to a comedy club with Jessica Kaizar, a good friend from high school who's been stationed here. It was an amateur comedian contest, and then some pros trying out some new material and getting warmed up for the weekend, so the quality of the material varied quite a bit. But it was a lot of fun.

SHAPE High School Reunion Pictures
Ryan Spanier has pictures up from his trip to the joint AFCENT/SHAPE reunion that was held in Las Vegas. The only people I recognize are Jared Whitney, Kori Whitney (on the left), and Kristen Martin, who looks prettier when she's smiling :) (Ryan's on the far right).

SHAPE High School Spartans Soccer
If you played on the boys soccer team (either with me or before or after me) at SHAPE High School under Mr. Tony Blasio, then go sign up at this site: www.shapespartanssoccer.com.
Also, does anybody with a SHAPE yearbook from 1998 or 1999 think they could scan in the men's soccer yearbook photo? Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner, and I only have the 1999 yearbook.
