Touched again by tragedy

This last weekend one of my neighbors from first year at Olaf was killed in a car accident. He transfered to Gustavus junior year, and they have a news item about the accident on their homepage. Thankfully his brother looks like he will be OK. I have always kept in touch with him after he left Olaf because we shared a mutual close friend. It is very surreal, and I have not gotten my head around it yet. I will be going to the funeral this Saturday.
