After seeing the post by jack, I agree this sounds tragic. I agree a few moments can change someone's life forever but it seems like if the allegations are true, it was more than a few minutes and that Bob Shell was on a self-destructive course. A 60 yo man and a 19-year having a love affair is not right, This woman had many problems and any 60 yo man who has a sexual love-affair in such a situation is tragic. Of course having a relationship and being accused of murder wrongs on a totally different scale.

I have never met Bob, in the flesh. But I have known him through his writings and activities and I have always admired him for his willingness to share his knowledge and his ironic sense of humor. . When I read these news reports, my stomach sank. I just sat there looking at the screen. But, allegations are allegations and no more. Let us hope that we have not heard all there is here and that more information will explain things more completely. But, in any event, let us remember that life is complicated and we have all been in difficult situations, if not something quite as ....pregnant with potentially bad results asthis.Jerry --- Jnswickard@xxxxxxx wrote:This is truly tragic.
