Wayne McNeill, a blogging friend, published Songbook for Haunted Boys and Girls* in 2013. Because the Danforth is mentioned several times in the book and because I met Wayne and Beth on the Danforth in 2013, I’m rereading it after what happened there last night, two blocks from the photo below’s location.

Wayne’s inscription to me (and Dean)
*this book will make another appearance next month
That’s horrible what happened to the Danforth last night.
This book is at myex’s. I need to retrieve.

I’m so glad you got to meet Wayne, and Beth. The whole thing breaks my heart. I feel as if I know the Danforth, even though I’ve never been there. But the book is always there. I just have an e-copy. I think I’d like the hard copy. I think I’m going to go to Amazon right now and buy it.

I love that picture of you and Wayne. I saw it on his FB page. I didn’t realize you’d met Beth too.

Love these photos and you’re so lucky to have met them (as was Craig). Thanks, too, for saying how close the shooting was to where he had lived. I’d been wondering and hadn’t looked up his address yet.

IB — he lived a few blocks further away from the shootings than in this photo.
