*Serena adds in 2011: The 1993 entry about the mother who was shot was actually someone that the Uible family knew at least to some extent - she was an elementary school friend of mine - Mary Lou Dean. She had a married name, but I don't recall that. It was all over the news - even in Cincy area, where I was living at the time, but I didn't realize until later that I actually knew her. She and I went to school together all 12 years. She worked at the CVS (Walgreens? some drugstore in Wilmington in the shopping center) for a number of years.
