    wow, the Kansanians didn't claim Tool, who attended high school in Paoli.
    I met their English teacher. His son was shot in Denver & I was part of a fundraiser.
    Dad was a nice guy & he mentioned that I should contact them based on their memory of him.(sadly, our venue was too flippin' small)
