Dear Hunter,

I was the year below Beau in the Castle, and I think we may have met once
at some point long ago.

I'm not particularly religious, but I do like to go to the synagogue for
its songs and rituals and physical beauty, and there is one prayer you say
on Friday night that's been going through my head, as it seems to fit Beau
to a T (attached).

This idea in Judaism, that all you really have is your name and reputation,
and the good deeds you are required to do, that will make you shine in
everyone's recollection of you, is just so apt. And he didn't do it to
ensure his electability - that was just him, from the days of college and
I'm sure before.

Thank you to your family for sharing this amazing person with us. He was so
marvelous and though to think of what yet lay ahead is a grim exercise,
what he already did was so, so much. I wish a reporter would talk to one of
the kids on whose behalf he worked for, who he saved.
Along those lines, here is the Talmud: "Whoever saves one life, it is as if
he saved the entire world."

I will see you tomorrow, Hunter (and I won't be wearing a black hat and
long coat and side curls, as much as it may sound it. : ) ), along with so
many of us from the Castle. We look forward to sharing this burden with you
all, but moreso the amazing memories we have of Beau. : )

Warmly,

Marc Goodma
