This is a very sad story, it must have been tough to experience.
I agree that humans are very complex beings. Which is all the more reason to
treat other with respect on a virtual forum.

Hi BOO folks,
Based on the idea that it's always better to consider people as multi-faceted
human beings, this seemed like a good time to share this article, featuring
both Judy Meredith and Jeff Gilligan who have chimed in here.
Please read it, is all I ask. Thanks to the efforts of Judy and Jeff, the
families of the victims received at least a decent settlement from the
cruise-ship line.

Judy has been a good friend of our family for many years, and really a
treasure for Oregon birding, in my view. I've never met Jeff in person, but
when I read this story, I'm reminded that he showed some real human decency
in this instance.
All the best,
Joel
