The headmaster of our school passed away yesterday afternoon; right before our eyes.

A few of us were with him the entire time; I fear it will take quite some time to clear my head of what I witnessed. There is no way to prepare yourself for something like this, and I’m not quite sure how to handle it. I’ve worked with him for the past 4 1/2 years; he arrived at the same time I did. When you have a small staff working in a foreign land, they become almost your second family. In many ways he was a mentor, a father figure, and a man of utmost integrity. He will be greatly missed by all.

I have no other words.

Goodbye, Buck.
