This likely is a lifelong memory-making event for some people who knew, or who 
knew of, the individuals involved. Sometimes, whether or not a person wants to 
remember such an event, the memory persists for years, decades, only to recur 
at times like a quiet Sunday morning reading the newspaper or e-mail.

I remember the hometown kid who drowned in his twelfth summer, the carful of 
young men who were lost driving home between semesters, the Theophilus Tower 
roommate I had who was killed in a head-on accident the summer after my second 
and his first year at the University.

One does not have to be a compulsive list maker, writing down all the 
addresses at which one has lived, or all the phone numbers one has had, or all 
of one's grade school and high school teachers, for these memories to recur. 
They are just there, able to return, usually unbidden, with whatever sadness 
or sweetness they may carry. C'est la vie.
