Twenty years ago, I found myself teaching a man who was responsible for an unimaginably horrific crime. I turned my back on him just when he needed me and have regretted it ever since.
This is a tremendous story. "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," is one of my favorite stories, but I had never considered it in this light. "One of my babies." Thank you for sharing this.
I really enjoyed this Matt. Thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience working at Tewksbury State Hospital running their dialysis program for 15 years, working with patients who had committed horrible crimes and with debilitating mental illness. Those experiences will stay with me forever, for better or for worse.

Epic storytelling, Matt. Wow. What a story, indeed. You clearly had a massive impact on James. Only a great teacher could do that :)
What a story. What a piece of writing. Horrible and hopeful and beautifully told.
