Old crime drawing interest in the New Year - Warren Reporter - 1/1/10

I found this in the Tillie Smith file at the Hackettstown Historical Society the other day:

It is the same article that was in the Warren Reporter blog on NJ.com December 6, 2010. I did the interview the day before Thanksgiving. I am glad to see that several typoes in the piece that went out on the front page (under the fold) of the weekly county paper had been corrected.

Not a bad way to start off the New Year!

Warm Regards,

FINDINGS:

The lateral ventricles are slightly prominent, but these are stable in appearance comparable to technique compared to the prior examination. There is no evidence of midline shift. The gray-white matter differentiation is within normal limits. There is no evidence of inracranial hemmorhage or space-occupying lesion. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are unremarkable.

Unremarkable CT scan of the head.


If symptoms persist, a follow-up high field (closed) MRI examination of the brain with diffusion imaging coud be obtained for better evaluaion.


*****Final*****

Symptoms did not persist. I was rocking out to my friends Lumins at the Philipsburg Gothfest wearing my bright green Jamaican James T-shirt four hours later.

Support the Venkatesh Trust for Education and Excellence


Venkatesh Veeraraghavan
Schooley's Mountain, NJ
- Jan. 1996
Alas, poor Venkatesh!1 I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most  xcellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it.

1This is (or at least was) a link to a memorial trust set up by Psychologist Vimala Veeraraghavan to advance "Education and Excellence" dedicated to her son and one of my best friends in the whole world, Venkatesh Veeraraghavan of New Delhi, India. He was a member of the West Chester University of Pennsylvana (USA) graduating class of 1997. He was my "Bhai Sahib!", my brother. He died in 2003 at the age of 27, profoundly affecting my life.
