Old Soul and ericnorstog, thanks for the support on this sensitive issue.  At the same time I can understand why folks who never knew Eagle Park Slim --what an incredible person he was--might be offended by my comments, thinking he was "just a musician"  and hardly worth mentioning in an article about another sad death..  I'm truly sorry if anyone felt I was somehow belittling the tragedy that hit that family out in the woods, for surely  that was not my intention..

Again, I recommend the RG  add a slot here for "Breaking News" where one could post in a more appropriate space.
