Profile by Dave Curtin

After reading Dave Curtin's profile on Adam and Megan, I was truely touched and wanted to hear so much more about Adam and Megan's lives at the end of the profile. Curtin wrote this profile as if he were there every step of the way with this family which is what kept me reading the story, unable to put it down. Although it took Curtin six months of interviewing the family to get the story together, I like that he doesnt make it sound like Bill or Cindy are the ones basically writing the story, Curtin was there a lot with the family so was able to write about the children based on much of his own emotion about what happened as well as the families; He writes about Adam's and Megan's feelings without needing to quote it from Bill or Cindy. I give Curtin a lot of credit for writing such a moving profile. I'm not sure I would have been able to write such on such a tragic subject even though the piece was of "one family's courage." Reading this profile has made me rethink the piece I was going to do and go for more of a personal story such as Curtin's on Adam and Megan.
