#Columbine 25 years later: If you’re a journalist or writer, I hope you read this & remember the teachers along the way. The small thing Columbine High School hero Dave Sanders taught me became integral to my life. #wearecolumbine via @coloradosun

George: Dave Sanders was more than a hero at Columbine. He equipped me for life.

Twenty-five years after Columbine, Dave Sanders’ legacy lives on in the many students he saved but also in places much more ordinary
