Losses of close Luther friends piled up for me during recent months. First it was Ted Jacobsen, then Weston, and now in mid-January came news that Paul (“Cyclone”) Schroeder had moved on. Ted and I grew up together in the Luther environs and spent huge chunks of our young lives in the college gym, tennis courts, Silvercrest golf course, hoeing corn on the college farm, and harvesting hazel, hickory, and walnuts in the hills surrounding Decorah.
