I just read that an aquaintance, through past work and then the kind of casual run ins you have when living in a large city, went missing last month in Whistler and not having been found is presumed dead.
I can't say I know too much about him, I worked with him for a while and he was a very nice guy. He was open, friendly, and a very up person on all occasions that I encountered him.
Walking down the streets I would occasionally think about having met him `in this area' a while back and wonder, as with many past acquaintances, what he was doing and what he was up to.
As whenever this kind of thing happens, it is a tragedy.
I can say no more, other than that the world is a beautiful place, but it can be cruel.
And some places in this city will serve as further reminder of that now.
