    Hi, friends--

    Recently I've been thinking about a classmate of mine at Columbia, Gil Henkin, and found a photo of him here. Years ago I heard a rumor that he'd died, but nothing more than that.

    If anyone can give me more details about Gil, I'd be grateful. I recall him as a young man of remarkable grace and intelligence.

    With thanks,
