Drama School student dies while setting up for production

This has got to be the most devastating news I've received since term started. I don't even know what to say. Life is too short, and to think at this time last year I was preparing to visit you.... As Jo put it, at least he died doing something he loved.. We'll miss you Pierre......

[footnote] I just did a search on "Pierre" on my blog... and I found 26 references to Pierre, of which 25 of them were in reference to the afore-mentioned... Pierre was simply amazing......
