This does not compute.
In one tweet she says”he had a lot of friends until he got alcohol poisoning in ‘06, & dropped out of school.”
In another Tweet she says “I haven’t seen him in person since ‘07 in a sign language class”
How could he be in her Sign Language Class if he dropped out the year before?
Could be one of those continuing Ed type courses like first aid, CPR, Braille, etc.
She may have typoed.
She didn’t say he dropped out in ‘06, only that he “got poisoning”; could’ve been after.
She said she went to high school and college with him; may’ve dropped out of HS, then saw him in college.
