Thank you for the reminder. It's all too easy to let the tragedies of the past be forgotten, but I think they need to be remembered.

You're welcome. I felt a moment of strange nostalgia today when I looked through the program of the candlelight vigil I went to last year. Hard to believe it's been another year... the second article I linked to in this post is a profile of someone born on June 4, 1989 -- he's now an 18-year-old going to the candlelight vigil for the first time. It made me sad to think about what all the people who died would be doing now, 18 years later.

Maybe in two years, when it'll be the 20th anniversary? I was there for the 10th anniversary (if I remember correctly), and there were more people than usual because people came from overseas to attend the vigil.
