[Ailist] Re: Ailist Digest, Vol 66, Issue 18

[Marge Schiller]

Dear Katri,

Two people who have done appreciative inquiry in times of tragedy in  
schools settings are Glyn Willoughby and Neil Samuels. They have had  
experiences with missing and murdered students.  Please contact them  
directly.
I am so sad by the loss of those lives.
