Thanks for the comments--emotionally it's really no big deal for me. I hadn't seen Chris for decades, literally, and had only heard of her addiction problems second-hand. It's just sad because when we were sweethearts she was one of the smartest, sweetest girls I knew and it just kind of bums me out to think of all that wasted potential. I'm really surprised she got hooked on the "hard stuff," for want of a better term. Like a lot of teens of the 70s, she was not shy about recreatoinal drug use, but it was never anything horrible, relatively speaking.
