ok... dunno what got me thinking about him, I think saw the word schizophrenia somewhere this morning... but I decided to look up an old HS acquaintance (was the lead guitarist in my HS band) who had reached out to me via FB years ago with some sad/strange requests to break him out of an unnamed institution where he was being held against his will and without cause (according to him). google
turned up this. if not for the previous exchange, and my history with him- extremely smart, sweet, thoughtful, motivated (and decent guitar player)- I'd be giggling. eta: now I'm just bummed out.
