It turns out that the man and woman still missing in this accident are the daughter and future son-in-law of one of my high school history teachers. I've heard various reports that he, my former teacher, was also on the water-taxi. I missed the midday news and the newspaper reports only mention Corrine Shillings and her fiance, not her dad, Denny Shillings. It doesn't really make it *more* troubling to me for them to be locals but it is strange in a six-degrees-of-separation way. This connection explains the burst in reporting this story here after the first report on local ABC-7 (the station that reports Baltimore stories here as if we were next door.) I was in high school when she was born. I have a vague memory of it (yes, vague even in terms of my memory.)
