Almost 44 years ago I arrived at Tulane University with my first wife. We moved into an apartment on the 4th floor of the Charles Rosen House. I became close friends with three other men; Mutizwa Chirunga, Ken Jaye, and Bill Schoof. We became "The Four Muskateers." I left Tulane in June of 1971. I tried to keep in touch with my dear friends. Sadly Mutiza Chirunga died of cancer in 2004 at age 53. I got my page set up on the new Tulane alumni website. I got the sad news that both Ken Jaye and Bill Schoof had passed away. I am the sole survivor. That makes one think and reflect.
Life takes us in many strange directions and wonderful discoveries. It never turns out the way we thought it would.
