Some Thoughts

I just learned that my college Spanish professor, Francis Pierucci, passed away this week.  I found out that he retired the year that I graduated, and I don't recall him seeming "old" enough to be of retirement age.  His demeanor and sense of humor made him more youthful.  I really enjoyed his class, it was very challenging.  I remember saying often, "no se" (I don't know.)  He was known for calling on students at random, so if you weren't prepared for class, you'd sweat the entire time.  I'm sad to know that he is gone.
