Ben and Jodi

Interviewed by Mary Pannabecker Steiner

Long ago in another lifetime, you used to help your sister, Caroline, entertain our daughters when she was babysitting. Last I remember, you were working somewhere near Beaverdam, so I'm obviously behind the times. Explain briefly what you did after college in the way of work?

Guest columnist: The night from hell

Posted by Fred Steiner on October 23, 2009 - 4:41pm

Last night about 8:50 p.m., I heard two men's voices floating up the stairs. I was up reading in bed and A. was watching TV. The voices sounded at first like they were coming from the front porch. I heard A's laughter, so I wasn't too worried. It continued for a few minutes and the voices sounded closer. Sammy, our dog, was barking a bit wildly so I thought I should go down and investigate. Since I was wearing my pajamas, I put on a sweatshirt and headed downstairs.

When I got to the landing I was horrified.
