Found a sixty year old letter from my best friend telling me how fucked up things were due to his drug use. He was
dropping and failing classes in university. Only the fact that his father was a Dean at OSU kept him from being expelled. After that we lost contact. Several years later I learned that his wife had found him dead in bed on New Year’s morning.
His wife’s family exercised their political influence and had his death ruled an accidental drug overdose. His brothers told me he had been a junkie all those years and couldn’t kick the habit.
I miss him every day!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
