Lisa died our freshman year of a drug overdose. Her passing so affected the Glencoe community that we created the Glencoe Youth Center in 1971. It continues to thrive and provide a safe, welcoming place for high school kids even now (its 43rd year). In a way, it is Lisa who has helped so many hundreds of kids over the past decades. Thank you, Lisa.
Great stuff. You hit the nail on the head, with such poignancy. God, not a single one of us from Glencoe can forget what a monumental shocker that news was. Every cloud, ideally, has a silver lining, and as you said, maybe her terribly early passing had some good in it, with that Youth Center.
