ali kemp

i just had a revelation while sitting on the exercise bike, watching the kansas city news - the girl who was taken from a pool in kansas city and subsequently killed by an as yet unknown assailant was, for a week or two, a student in one of my fall semester college algebra classes. i remember clearly meeting her in my office and handing her the permission slip. this may seem insignificant at first blush, but the horror hits harder when you have a name and a face to put with a nameless, faceless news story. her name was ali kemp, and she was buried today in leawood.

here is the story from the kansas city star.
