re: 40 years ago today, July 9, 1982, Pan Am flight 759 crashed

One of those who died on the ground that day was little Lisa Baye. She was 7 years old. I met her father, John Baye, through a mutual friend a few years after the plane crash. This man is a modern-day Job. His wife ended up divorcing him, which is not at all uncommon among couples who have lost a child, their middle child died from a drug overdose at age 32, and their oldest, and last remaining child died last year at age 51. I've never known anyone who went through more in this life
