Hundreds Remember Portland MAX Victim

(Ashland, OR)  --  Hundreds of family members, friends and other mourners are remembering one of the men killed on a Portland MAX train.  Yesterday's public memorial in Ashland for Taliesin Myrddin Namkai-Meche recalled his courage when he tried to stop a man from shouting anti-Muslim slurs at two young women passengers back on May 26th.  Members of the Muslim community praised his mother for, quote, "raising a strong and righteous son."  A funeral was held Monday for the other man killed in the incident, Ricky Best.
