As Mike Thornton began his learning session on Walk Around Magic, tragedy struck. Phil Mann received a phone call at the club from police in Wyoming Michigan performing a wellness check and learned Phil's daughter Tiffany Emmert and her husband were found dead in their home. Close friends did their best to comfort Phil as plans were quickly made for Sean to drive Phil's car to take Phil home. Don Oesterwind followed them and was then able to bring Sean back to the PCAC after seeing Phil safely home. The meeting was aborted with members shocked by the news. Friends of Phil quietly shared their shock and grief as the crowd slowly dissipated.
