<p>Local boy, IB HS grad, UF grad (bio major), teaching bio in the highlands village of Katse in the African kingdom of Lesotho. Lesotho is a small kingdom surrounded by South Africa. He was in the capital city of Maseru attending a farewell function at a hotel. He was leaving the hotel when he was shot and killed in an apparent robbery attempt. He was in his second year with the Peace Corps. </p>
<p>He was a musician (violin, guitar) and was very involved in coaching local teams in his village in basketball and swimming. he kept a great blog on blogspot, but we are not allowed to post links. It is under tmaresco</p>
<p>I have a friend and colleague with a daughter in the Peace Corps now, and I held my breath as I heard the news. This is tragic.</p>
