One of Aaron's favorite television programs was "The Price is Right." Just before he died, an aunt in California got tickets for the show and he and his parents flew there earlier in July. "He got to go backstage and meet Bob Barker," said his mother. A teacher at the school, Helen Osborne, had Aaron in her fifth-grade class.
"He taught me as much as I taught him - about life," she said. "We were a real close class."
