And now I call back about aging. Because aging and things like stroke are going to be in their, in their present much sooner than they think.
[Steve Isser] Rachel is our daughter, our first born. By the way, she brought Anita and I together.
First, we lived in Santa Cruz, then moved to Berkeley, and moved to Ashland.
And we had only been here a year, and Rachel was 11, still meeting friends, making friends here in Ashland.
And one of the reasons we moved up to Ashland, you know, we wanted to raise our family in a town that's smaller and a little safer, and away from the main streets of the city.
And one day, she said, "I'm going to go and meet Deanna at the college field," or something like that. And she gave me a big smile -- it was right around lunch time -- and took off.
And that was the last time I saw her alive. And there was some sort of commotion over by the stadium press box, over by the college. And the cops were all over the place. And they brought me in up to the press box, and there she was. And she was lying there, and I reached down and "Rachel, Rachel." And I reached down to hug her, and the police pulled me off and said, "You can't disturb a crime scene." He held me back. And we were blown away. And she was gone.
[Anita Isser] I felt like my heart had just been ripped open and I just did not see how I could go on. |
