Remaining Anonymous

From the LA Times story about a man in last week's train crash in LA who
    As he lay wedged under a train seat and metal debris, with whatever energy he could summon and a heartbreaking economy of words, he scrawled a farewell in blood on the seat. "I {heart} my kids. I {heart} Leslie," he printed.
Some people are inspired by the story and want to find him, but he wants to remain anonymous:
    "I'm a private person," he said in a statement the hospital released for him, "and the message that I wrote was a private message to my wife and my kids because I didn't think I was going to make it."
Ann Althouse comments:
    The extraordinary thing is that this man with an opportunity to be paraded about in the public eye has chosen to remain private.
Perhaps his wife's name isn't Leslie. That would explain it, ainna?
