Your amusement in “Heard Around the West”
concerning the Idaho Statesman headline about a missing councilman
is not at all amusing. This is a local gentleman that stopped to
assist a driver at the side of the highway, and as a result it is
assumed that he was hit by a passing vehicle or jumped out of the
way of one. He has not been seen since. I believe that his grieving
friends and family deserved your condolences, not your amusement.
