Letter to the editor
For the longest time Mike was just another pWaves kid to me. I didn't take part in the pre-orientation program, but my roommate for the past two years did, so I got to know all his friends from it. Though, over the past two years, me and Mike's relationship grew from just saying "hi" when passing each other by to small conversations. We were never close friends by any measure, but I liked my relationship with Mike. I liked it because I always heard how people regarded him. They described him as this genuine, nice kid with an innocent smile that showed his good nature. I liked my relationship with Mike because it meant I was acquainted with such a well-regarded guy. Being able to talk to such an esteemed man was usually one of the highlights of my day.
