No longer with us

A shock to learn that 39 of my classmates are no longer with us, and who they are: So many names and faces still familiar, even after so many years, and especially old friends Tom Bywater, David Grosberg, Bruce Hampton, Bruce Sanford and Chuck Schartow.

And others: Jean Wolf, the quiet brainy one. Kathy Hanley, who always had that haunted look. The unnamed two who were definitely not part of my crowd. And the pretty girls who always stood out.

We brought nothing into this world, and
it is certain we can carry nothing out.
The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken
away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
