A great visit with a great friend
Jeff Katzman was the most special friend I had at Stanford. We were roommates for one year and great friends for four. Jeff was the kind of friend who affirmed my strengths and overlooked my faults--and as his roommate, he saw them all! We have had sporadic success staying in touch over the years (he came to my wedding, I didn't go to his) but we've been better about it more recently.
This week two of his three amazing kids competed in the USA Track and Field Junior National Championships, held not too far from us in Charlotte. So today Vicki and I piled the kids in the car and we headed down for a visit. I finally met his wife Joanna and the kids, and we had a great lunch together. I am hoping they will stay with us on the 4th of July before we head to the beach and they head back to Albuquerque.
