Remembering Brian Sayre

Stanford University, 1982, 1983

Brian was my best friend at Stanford. I miss him sorely today, thirty years later. I realized after he was gone that I had developed a habit of thinking of new ideas just to be able to tell him about them. Just being friends with Brian made me smarter. I've never found that free flowing intellectual companionship we shared since. His loss is incalculable.
