There are a lot of points in this story that connect me to it.
1) Celtics and ACC connections.
2) Ivan Boesky, haven't heard that name in a while, but my sister roomed with his daughter at Duke.
3) Greenwood High School, my school. My daughter was there for Ms. Bias' talk and as a player on the girls'baketball team, was there for that talk, too.
4) I'll never forget when and how he died. Two years earlier, I almost died the same way. My use caused an anuerism to rupture in my brain. I was lucky. Surgery on my 27th birthday was successful. I recovered in time to see the Celtics win the 84 title.

Please stay away from cocaine in all forms.
Thanks to Ms. Bias for continuing to spread this message.
