Seminar attendees included the mayor's office, local police and fire personnel and various community professionals accompanied by nurses, doctors, medical staff, guidance counselors, teachers and administrators.  Private sessions were offered to grieving local residents. Concluding this 4 day event a gathering of families attended a ritual, honoring the residents of the Raton area with a lovely candle lighting ceremony.
