Thanks for sharing. Clinger's story is sad and tragic. It's good to hear he is trying to get his life back on track. It's perhaps even more sad that every time he looks in the mirror (and every time he faces another person) he is reminded of the mistakes of his past.
Doug, is David one of your former students? Maybe he would be a good choice to address your class. I would wager he would be more likely to talk sense to them than you have. At least he wouldn't waste their time with the mealy mouth manny-pamby BS served up by the likes of you.
