Ten Years

Today marks the tenth anniversary of Andrew Joel’s death on a tennis court in Lilburn, Georgia.  His business partner told me, “We had just finished a game and it was my serve.  I turned around to retrieve a ball and when I turned back, Andrew was lying on the court motionless.  It was already over.”  When he called to tell me what had happened, he began by saying, “I don’t know how to find the words to say this…….”  But of course he did.

The photo of Andrew and me is from 1974 in Boulder, Colorado.  Click here for audio of a poem for Andrew.
