A friend of mine died recently. He had been a fellow professor at the University of Missouri (though not in the medical field) and died unexpectedly, in his 80s. Since I did not know his family well, the news of his death did not reach me for a few weeks.
We had initially met at one of the ovals on campus where both of us chose to eat our lunch outdoors. As it turned out, we had a lot in common, especially regarding our philosophy of life and our fondness for the Mountain West. In time, he had discovered this blog and his interest was truly an honor.
He was a kind and thoughtful person and his influence will live on in my life. What more can we hope to achieve with those we come to know?
