Die young, stay pretty.

Last week an old friend from college was killed in a car accident. For those of you that live in Pasadena, I am sure you heard about it in the news. He was the driver of the red bug that was found right off the 134 freeway.
I feel saddened by the news. Especially for his family and my friends that knew him much more closely than I did.

I met David through Shelly, Jose and Monica. They all were a very tight bunch in college and in the many years afterward. When we first met, it was the beginning of a very crazy college year. I have interesting memories of that bunch! David was a star. After college, I saw him less frequently but it was always nice to see him. He was a real sweetheart and he was always fun to be around. It is unbelievable that he is gone. No matter how much I have seen the on-line newstories, the orbituary, the myspace announcements.... it is hard to believe.

His coworkers put up a wonderfulwebsite in his memory. His sister wrote a really nice biography.

Thanks Jenny.
You may not have been able to see anything because of one or two things.
1. A couple of times I found it slow to load up.
2. The website's first image is very white and hard to see. It is a picture of him and his niece in what seems to be a watermark. It is soft and hard to see depending on how you view your computer screen.
