What killed Reece?

My former employer, the Star Tribune, is a damn good paper. I've been engrossed in a multi-part series they're doing about a teenage boy, Reece Meikle, who died of a very mysterious blood disease. It's a fascinating mystery, and yet agonizingly sad.

    I've been reading it too...and as a mom of two boys 13 and 9, I have cried every day this week.

  4. I haven't been following that story, but as a transplant from the Minneapolis suburbs to the land of the Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette, I have a whole new appreciation for the Star Tribune (and their whole page of comics).
