KFS, yes, it is Lisl that I was talking about. I worked and shared an office with Rob, her step father, for about 2 1/2 years. That was about 6 years ago. I don't go to Denver on business as often as I used to but I used to stay with them most of the time.
Man, do I ever remember the day all that happened. It was all over the news. Rob came to work the next day and asked me what I thought about the police officer shooting. Then he started crying and told me that Lisl was the woman who was arrested in the incident. What an enormous, stressful ordeal the whole thing has been for everyone.
I met Lisl once about 6 months before the killing. Her brother, Mason, was playing a gig. Lisl and her mother, Colleen, met me at a little club in Denver. We didn't chat much, just listened to the band. Mason is an electric bass/upright player, very good. Colleen's brother (Forrest something, I can't remember the last name)is a bassist with the Eugene, OR Symphony. He also has played bass with (I think) Mason Williams for many years.
I have talked with Lisl several times when I was at their house and she called collect from prison. She seems to be doing okay, all things considered. We're all just hopeful that the CO. Supreme Court will find in favor of her. It's been 7 1/2 long years already.
I talked to Rob a few days after Hunter's death. He and Colleen were shocked and deeply saddened by the news. They have talked to him and his wife many times. I can't imagine how Lisl feels. She and Hunter had grown very close over the years. He was her biggest public supporter and his concern and support are greatly appreciated.
