Dear Dave,
A few years back, there was a vivacious West High student who played on the girls volleyball team. Her name was Caroline Found. Caroline met a tragic fate. She was tooling along on her moped on Mormon Trek Blvd (without a helmet), crashed into a tree that was in the median, and died. There was a huge school response to her death. The double-whammy of the tragedy was that Caroline’s mother passed away from cancer within weeks after the moped accident.
The tragic story has given rise to a forthcoming Hollywood movie. This news article in the local Iowa City Press Citizen tells that William Hurt has been cast to play Caroline Found’s father…
In other news, the West High girls softball team is making a strong go at the Mississippi Valley Conference championship. They have a key game against Dubuque Hempstead Thursday night.
Cheers,
– John
