Le maudit Mo D.

no subject

This morning I got an e-mail from my editor at the Ladycollege alumnae magazine. A classmate of mine, an Army surgeon, was killed in Iraq last week. She is the first member of my class to pass away.

I didn't know Roselle personally, but she e-mailed me a class note once. She was a doctor, and by all accounts a damn good one. This is a damn tragedy. I don't know if it's right to assign more worth to her life just because she was a doctor and a Smithie, but when we lose excellent, caring, contributing people like this so young, it's just not right.

Here is the best website I could find honoring her memory.
