When I got home from church today and had just pulled into the driveway, I got a call from my principal. She had news about our missing teacher. His body had been found in big G - he had been murdered. 
The family has asked that we don't speculate on the details, so that is probably all we're going to know.
All I know is that we have lost a wonderful man, wonderful teacher, and little bit of our sense of safety. He'd been in big G on a Wednesday night - not exactly a night you'd think would be dangerous in big G. (Friday and Saturday nights, avoid like the plague - or nights right after the government checks come out...)
I'm wondering if my principal will let me dedicate the yearbook now. (would have to get permission from his family - but I think it would be so appropriate)
Sad news :(

I talked to my principal this afternoon about dedicating the yearbook to this teacher, and she heartily agreed with the idea - just need to make sure the family would be okay with it. He was a very traditional Navajo man, so there may be an issue.
A short while ago a vehicle with a siren came through the mobile home park I live in - Kari startled at the noise - not surprising since it's probably only the third time I've heard a siren come through here in the nearly 3 years I've lived here. Made me a bit jumpy too, given the recent happenings with our teacher. (Most of our classroom teachers and quite a few of our staff live in the same mobile home park.)

How horrible. Prayers for the man and his family. Agree with all, stay safe and take care. I think just the idea of dedicating the yearbook is wonderful.

Wife - We have a school counselor, so I'm sure she'll be available for anyone who needs to talk. Other than that, I doubt it.
