twenty-three: in memorium

[halavana]

The death of a former student at the age of 23 got me thinking about that age.  When my dad was 23, his first child was born.  I was studying at WSU.  Mom was in college at OBU.  My brothers were either working at a warehouse or a grocery store.  23 is supposed to be a chapter in the middle, not the end of the book

How sad about your student! 23 really is just the beginning of things in many ways.

I was in my second year of grad school at U of I, looking forward to being married in another year.

Thanks Lin.
