I learned today from my friend Bill, who works in Washington DC for the Voice of America, where he is the bureau chief or something, that my college professor passed away on August 31st. Bill has been rather busy ever since the terrorist attacks, obviously, so he only had time to tell me today. My professor was with friends. There was no funeral. He didn’t get my letter.
I hope he knew what he meant to me and all of his other students.
Work tomorrow has been cancelled as well, due to the typhoon, which is still actually in Taiwan, such is the slowness of its pace. The wind outside is still howling, and the lightening is fierce. Hopefully the electricity will hold up.
