This was a shock. Hayden was a pleasure to have. I still remember when he came to my office and thanked me personally for the help I had given him in his senior year. It was a gesture not a lot of kids his age would have made. It showed he had a kind heart. – Brian Hansen, Hayden’s school counselor at East
