    Imagine interviewing more than a dozen 3rd to 6th graders. I did. The results were a bit surprising. Each child sat on a "hot seat" and answered five questions.

    By David Sanford
    Have you ever lost someone near or dear to you? I lost someone when I was eleven. My dad and mom and brother and two sisters and I were near Snoqualmie Pass, about fifty miles east of Seattle.
