Dammit 2013. Just found out that one of my colleagues, a beloved photo teacher who Drew and I both adored, passed away from complications related to lung cancer yesterday. My school is going to be in deep mourning next week. I'm very sad.
Those of you who were at our wedding reception might have met him--older African American man who we hired to take pictures as well as be our guest. Harris was an amazing person, teacher, and friend. He will be greatly missed.
Oh, Pix, that's awful. I'm so sorry.
Oh I remember Harris!! He was so so nice. How sad.
I'm sorry for your, and the school's, loss.
We had a glorious day today, and drove around aimlessly for the first time in a long time. We saw mountains we'd forgotten were on the horizon they've been cloaked in fog and rain so long. We saw boggy fields full of tundra swans, still more dairy pastures converted to berry fields, and it seemed every tall singular tree bare of leaves bore an eagle in its branches.
What a delightful day.
I've known people for whom the e-cigs have been very effective when other quitting tactics haven't worked. But I hope the patches are just the thing for you and Joe, Aimee. OH! I need to email you something amusing. I will do that now.
Pix, that's awful; I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry PIx, losing a colleague is hard.
Harris and I became fast friends when I was teaching there way way back. At one point there were only about half a dozen male faculty or staff at the school and we were a pretty tight knit group. Harris was also an alum of one of my grad schools.
It's not going to be the same without him.
