quick thought... March 20th, 2007 - 1:24PM
Andy is moving onto his next project: an open source documentary about the death of Gil Barber. He’s looking for other people to add to the project, whether it be new information, footage, context, music or ideas. I’d think that the local blogosphere would be down to help on this, but it seems as though people are too busy fretting over a fired police chief.

Oddly enough, in the women’s bathroom at the Green Bean, just by the toilet paper, is Gil Barber’s name and a respectful message.
I was working in the High Point bureau for the N&R when this happened. I wasn’t covering cops, but Cherise Hodges was. She later moved to Charlotte, and I think she’s published a novel online. I googled her, but got few leads.
High Point was one of the oddest places I’ve ever lived: Where else would a giantic, armoir with a sock hanging out the drawer overshadow and outsize the historical marker to John Coltrane’s birthplace?
Molly,
Thanks for that info, I’m on it. Do you think you next time you’re at the Green Bean you could take a photo of the message. Anything helps, and that would be great.
Andy
Sure thing. I have a little digital camera.
