Stumbled across this digging through Facebook. It was definitely a surreal experience. I remember we had all "celebrated" or at least "acknowledged" we were the first class in a while to make it through senior year without a tragedy. Then come summer Harris, of all people, was lost. Then soon after Ron, which shocked me more because I'd been closer to him. (I was unaware of James' passing until now). I know others have left, John Cleary as of recent, but yeah, that summer infused a sense of mortality into me that otherwise hadn't been there.
