Don’t know. Couple doctors, a vet who quit vet med and is overseeing a biology department at a college, couple engineers. The legend in the batch, was this creep named Julian.

Julian was this affluent jerk who once had a teacher in tears tears telling her that when his inheritance came through, he would think back to the little people in his life, like her…and laugh. (Yep, this dude was a piece of work. Nasty entitled little creep who got away with sexual assault because of relatives on the school board and local government, too)

Anyway…a couple of years after graduation, he DID inherit Grandpa’s millions, including a racing yacht.

At 20 years old, he took his “best friends” out on his fancy new boat in Lake Michigan and had a party…reportedly with lots of coke, ecstasy, etc.

It wasn’t until late the next day that everyone woke up and made the discovery that he was missing. Apparently, he got hit by the boat sail rigging, had gone overboard, and drown. No one noticed for almost 24 hours.

I knew that kid from kindergarten, and I feel a little bad, because I should have FELT something about his death, some semblance of compassion, something…but very seriously, I laughed. Was one of those moments you have to believe in Karma.

If ever there was a person who was DUE being knocked in the head by a sail boom, it was Julian.

When I think of him getting in the face of that middle aged school teacher and refusing to leave her classroom when she ordered him to the office…when I think him reducing her to tears and her subsequent retirement…I seriously do laugh about the end he met.

How stupid, how tragic, and what an afterthought he turned out to be.
