In honor of Otto Zehm

"Otto Zehm was the best friend I've ever had the grace of knowing.  Now his murder is getting swept under the rug like all the wrong doings of the Spokane police.  Otto and I went to north Central high stool together and were close. He taught me everything I know about guitar, he was very very very good at it!  He also took piano lab with me (him for four years me three) and by the time school was done he had surpassed Mike Caldwell the music and piano teacher.  He was a prodigy. 

His only mental "illness" was that he was socially different.  Otto never lied, never stole, never did drugs and alcohol didn't agree with him (made him to wild) always in a passive way.  He wanted a wife, to be a rock star, a piano composer, and/or just play music all his life. 

They killed an angel.  I have never been even close to as beautiful a person inside and out as Otto, he could have been a role model for Blot of people.  Rich or poor, any race, drug addict, prostitute, or lawyer Otto got along with anybody without judgment.  It saddens my heart that his greatness will never be fully fulfilled, but those that knew him will never forget.  How do we ever trust the law when the law doesn't trust anyone? 

The person who was responsible just kept about his business still working, no guilt.  Maybe god will forgive them Otto would.                 Myself, I will never forget...."  written by Jerrod Wisher  01-10-07
