veterans was canceled due to one of my students committing suicide. Please
remember him and his family in your prayers. We never got a chance to get the
class started and they closed off that area in <st1:place

w:st="on">Pendleton</st1:PlaceName></st1:place> for investigation. We are
hopping to get the class rescheduled in June. Meanwhile I’m trying to line up
the same type of class for disabled veterans here. This was a tragic turn of
events.</FONT></P>
