    ALBANY, N.Y. (WRGB) — “A rising tide lifts all boats”-- that’s the expression that came to mind to Chris Kaserjian when he thinks about his former band mate Dave Shapiro. Shapiro, who grew up in Albany County and graduated Bethlehem High School in 2001, was one of six on board a private jet when it crashed early Thursday morning in a military housing neighborhood. Everyone on board is presumed dead. “It's like a bad dream.I'm still trying to process it,” Kaserjian tells CBS6’s Briana Supardi.
