Martin Toler, Jr. probably knew his life coming to an end. Mr. Toler was trapped in the Sago Mine some two miles beneath the surface of the earth. Most likely, he knew others around him had already died. In his final hours, his thoughts turned to those closest to him, and Toler took the precious little energy he had left, and scribbled a note to his loved ones: ?Tell all ?
