RIP Jack

Today I learned that a fellow master naturalist classmate of mine died last week.  I was not happy to hear this news but also happy to have learned this news.  I am sorry he died but glad I was notified.  He was buried on Monday and only 75 years old.  Just a year ago he was taking a class on nature and going on field trips.  He was learning and vibrant and interested.  I hope I can be like him - curious about life until the very end.
