Just when I thought I was over losing Joe and sending Tony and David off to far corners of the world the letter arrives. Simply addressed to Mr. Joseph Michael Restaino from UPenn. In his absence of course I opened it and read that they, in the official term, had "withdrawn by decision" his active status. He had been absent for more than four semesters. It was another reminder of him being gone, not ever coming back and only our memories of Joe will keep him alive in our hearts.
No, we are not out of the woods just yet since mail like this keeps coming.
