Really sad story. Really sad corruption.

I've visited with people in high positions who get caught up in various scandals and the story is often so similar, "I just came to the place that I thought I was special..."

Let's be reminded that the wrong done has a way of haunting...regardless of the heights to which we may think we have climbed.

Fame is fleeting and disgrace can last a lifetime...and often does.
