What a disappointment that the governor chose not to reopen the investigation. I feel any lay person could have handled this more professionally.

- Bio:
- A 25 year friend and former co-worker of Dave Brock, who is a BHSC survivor and member of this site. I knew and also worked for Dick Schilling for 5 years, but not at the BHSC. Dave introduced me to Wayne Dammert, another BHSC survivor and author, 15-20 years ago. Dave told me of the "maintenence men" in the Zebra room 25 years ago.
I noticed a great change in Dave after the 30 year BHSC reunion. Dave unexpectedly met other witnesses and became re-aquanted with other ex-employees attending the reunion who recalled seeing the same men that week and the day of the fire. From there Dave had a mission. I was drawn into the investigation because of my relationship with Dave, how important the issues were to him personaly and the incredible story that's still unfolding.
