in political science at Purdue University. . . . I want to end this
column with warm, supportive wishes for the wife and family of Timothy
Bernard, who died on October 11, 1996, after a long battle with brain
cancer. I have spoken with several of you who knew Tim, and the stories you
have shared with me make clear the great loss our class and Tim's family have
experienced. He was an intelligent, caring person who influenced the lives of
his friends. Though this is not the first loss our class has suffered, it does
not get any easier to hear that someone we studied and had fun with has died.
Anyone wishing to be in touch with his family may contact the Alumni Office to
obtain their address. Please keep Tim's wife, Meridith, and his family in your
thoughts and prayers! . . . Take care, everybody--and keep an
eye out for our class letter.
