The genesis of the Bereavement Center occurred while Atkins was working as a child life psychology specialist. On several occasions, she counseled children dealing with the death of a sibling. Parents would ask her who to go to for continued assistance.

It felt really strange, but great, too, because I was home again."

Some days he comes to class as Mr. McKinney, the talk show host. Other days, he's Evin Rude the Poetry Dude.
