Palimpsest

Nick's friends: This is a random post and a work in progress - it's been I while, and I thought it would be good to do a post on some of Nick's friends, now that he lives mostly in my and their memories. Why now? I suppose because many things come together - Nick's birthday, Mothers' day, Sara's graduation, the anniversary of Alex's graduation and of Bowdoin graduation, and Angie's graduation, each a writing and rewriting of life changes and memory onto a particular, glorious time of year. So, in no particular order: Will - should be finishing up his Fullbright year in Colombia! Will's semester abroad in Chile, parts of which are recorded in http://gringogigante.blogspot.com/, was memorable for many things, including the strongest earthquake since 1960 (not Will's doing). Sara - graduating! I am so happy - this was a tough thing to do. Sara wrote a piece for Newsweek, one year out: http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2008/12/05/remembering-the-perfect-boy.html. Frank - law school, Science Olympiad, front seat. Paul - graduated, back seat. Steve - Maine 3 - any one I have missed above - you guys have been great! Danny, John, Will, Shosh, Sophie, Zoe, Linda, Bobby, Angie, Ping. An amazing group. You write the next chapters.
