In the 22 years, three months and 10 days since he squeezed the trigger on a .38-caliber revolver aimed at the head of Stuart Hess, Claude Waddy has not discovered the inappropriateness of calling the young man he killed "this dude."Nor does he seem to have grasped his victim's full name. He can't seem to bring himself to say, "Stuart Hess" or "Mr. Hess." As he sits for his parole hearing in a bright room at the state prison in Hagerstown -- two commissioners seated across from him, the parents of Stuart Hess watching from 30 feet away -- Claude Waddy refers to his victim as "this dude," and as "this guy, this Hess guy, Stuart, what they call him."

It's been 16 years since Lois Hess' only son was murdered, and she thought the grieving would be over by now. She was wrong.Recently, Mrs. Hess learned that the man convicted of themurder was scheduled to have a parole hearing March 25. The news threw her into an emotional tailspin, bringing back the hurt and anger as if the slaying had just happened."

Ruth Ellen Keats, 86, painter of still lifes Ruth Ellen Keats, a Baltimore painter of still lifes, died Tuesday at her Guilford apartment of a progressive neuralgic disease. She was 86. Known as "Sellen," Mrs. Keats started painting more than 70 years ago. She held her last one-woman show in 1995 at the Mechanic Theater.

American presidents come in handy when I need a sense of the passage of time. As I sat last month in a bright room with barred windows at the state prison in Hagerstown to observe three parole hearings (TJI, May 19, 21, 23), someone would mention a date -- date of the crime, date of sentencing -- and I would attach presidents to each.When Claude Waddy went to prison for killing Stuart Hess, Gerald Ford was still in the White House. When a jury convicted William Joseph Parker in the murder of 13-year-old Elizabeth Archard, Jimmy Carter was still wearing cardigans in the Oval Office.
