He died in a white water rafting accident when I was 9 and my mom recently found the witness reports from his death while she was cleaning out her office. It was a really surreal way to re-examine his death and I think it became real to me in a way only a story could make it. And that&#8217;s what the witness reports were &#8212; very vivid stories of his last moments.<\/p>\n<p>I also start teaching my personal storytelling class at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.loft.org\/classes\/detail\/?loft_product_id=54036\">The Loft <\/a>on January 30th.
