The Opposite of Loneliness

Many of you have heard the tragic news of Marina Keegan, the 22 year old who died in a car accident, shortly after her graduation from Yale University. If you haven't already read her final column for the Yale Daily News, I suggest you do. She writes about life, and what Yale meant to her.

When I read it, I was touched in many ways.  As a father, I was torchered by the pain and loss of the family of this amazing young woman.  As a human, I was moved by the words and how many of them put texture and shape to what I want to accomplish at Rising. I hope you take the time to read it.  It is inspiration for our life and a tribute to her life.
