Casualties of War

Matteotti 25 was a proud house of 10 men a few short weeks ago, but now our full strength is somewhere between 8 and 9. Roomie Jon from Michigan was sent home after intense internal problems. Apparently when they removed his appendix in Amsterdam, they were toying with the wrong organ...now in advanced stages of Pancreitus his family has opted to get him back to the states for proper medical care, so have all your thoughts and prayers with Jon and his family.

And then there's Jack...
After a full weekend of crashing together mighty steins of flavorful beer, our protagonist decided that one last afternoon black-out was an order. He proceeded to drink about 6 litres of beer and pass out onto the hood of a blue BMW. After being dragged half conscious to the train station Jack passed out on a bench in front of our train. We all loaded the train and after about an hour we realized that no one had seen Jack, but he purchased his ticket seperately so perhaps he was on a different car.

Sure enough, 4 am rolls around and Hunter receives a garbled call and can make out a few words: "drunk, Germans, club, Munich, party, drunk"

...and thats the last any of us have heard from JP Shannon

Jon- Wounded in battle
Jack- Missing in Action

The violence must stop
