I got the email from Professor Nancy Vickers:  John was gone.  Deep breath…
So what was I to make of that, I wondered?  All that motion, but to what end?  Boundless passion, for sure.  So much heart.  Love. 
But was there progress?  Or just a
lot of heat?  The older I get the more I want
to know: what was that all about?  What
have we learned?
