This damn war has taken my friend. I talked to a friend on Saturday of last week about how there were only a few people I really, truly wanted to see from my graduating class at reunion next year. He was one of them. I found out about his misfortune on Monday. Now, I want to see the remaining 76 of my classmates. I may not have liked them all, but I know it will break my heart just the same to see their names in the obituaries. I wish I had more time with him.
