On Wednesday evening, the first of May, three weeks after his deposition, Al Love walked over to Anne's house and knocked on the door.
Anne invited him in, offered him coffee, and they sat at her kitchen table.
He told her that he'd thought about coming to see her for some time, but he'd been afraid she might not want to talk to him because he worked for W.R. Grace.
He said he cared about what had happened in the city and to her son, and he was angry about the way the company was handling itself.
