“Talk”

By Gilbert Quinones

1989 to 1993 – Elementary to High School

This is not a traditional article. It is a chapter in a book I have been writing that covers four years of events that impacted the kids I grew up with, who knew Avedis Garcia. It contains events that may be painful for some to read, but that is not my goal. I want to demonstrate how the people in our lives can positively impact us.

If you knew Avedis personally, reading this may take strength, and it still may if you didn’t know him. If you have had a dear friend or a close family member that you lost, you will understand how difficult it is. Although it was difficult to write this chapter, I am glad I did.
