Sadness

R.I.P. Eamon Cannon

Eamon was a former student. A ridiculously talented writer, thoughtful social observer and funny son of a bitch. He died May 23. I haven't learned anymore and haven't been able to. I am just sad to see such longterm potential unfulfilled. But despite my sadness, I am also feeling incredibly fortunate that I at least got to know him for a couple years. Most people aren't lucky enough to meet someone like Eamon.

Here's links to the two stories he wrote for us at L.A. Youth.

Seriously funny.

Tookie Williams didn't have to die.

Be at peace.
