I've known Jadeen since we were in 4H together; I met him at the founding pot-luck for KAOS-FM, The Evergreen State College, where he had a show for years before going professional on KGY. Carl was a friend of my Cousin the Biker and my husband the radio crazy since the early seventies. The year before last he showed up at the 4th of July party at my cousin's, thinking he'd be seeing crows and found, instead, that he was among old friends in a place where he'd first worked on honing his photographic skills. He was, then, three years into his struggle with esophageal cancer. And now he's gone.

I'd link to the Olympian's story but it has really off-putting ads.


Julia, mortality sucks
