I was searching to see how many homicides there were in the Palisades. Seth Grinspan is the only one who falls in that category.

The author reminisces on his memories of Seth and how he was a ranked tennis player in his teens. It goes on to talk about tennis and its effects on people. Very interesting read and shines a light on Seth as more than a homeless man stabbed to death in the Palisades.
RIP

I went to University high school with Seth. He was someone that I admired, especially his abilities on the tennis court. Although quiet, he was well thought of and the circumstances leading up to his death is quite disturbing.
