Nine years ago, after their 16-year-old daughter was shot to death, John-Michael Keyes and Ellen Stoddard-Keyes could have chosen to be invisible.
Emily Keyes fell victim to gunman Duane Roger Morrison, a 53-year-old transient who entered Platte Canyon High School and held students hostage during a standoff Sept. 27, 2006.
“I made some very deliberate choices with my eyes wide-open,” John-Michael said.
There would be big things on the horizon for the Keyes, but first ... the ride.
Fantastic article with the round-table interviews. Thank you Walter for putting that together!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
