It was 1983 - the class was Dr. Heath's Introduction to Music 101. The classroom was hot and the air was heavy as the students filed into class while "Every Breath You take" by The Police played loudly in the background. The students talked excitedly about Michael Jackson's and Madonna's latest album and waited anxiously for the professor to begin class. I took a seat in the very front of the room and noticed a dark haired young man sitting in the very last row of the class. Each class he moved closer and closer to the front row where I was sitting until he was sitting alongside me. He dropped a letter from his desk and I picked it up and returned it to him.
The values we learned from our Jesuit education and Catholic faith have kept our relationship a priority for 35 years. They have enabled us to grow stronger with each challenge life has given us.
