My good friend Pedro Medina passed away this week. Pedro has been a good friend to me for 17 years. I will treasure the memories of the good visits that I had with him last summer and in recent years. I posted a couple of pictures of Pedro in my September 7 blog entry. Pedro worked at the United World College, where I went to high school. He touched my life, and the lives of so many other students, and was a good friend to me ever since. Pedro was an inspiration to us all, always cheerful and full of energy and fun. My thoughts are with his family.

Hi Kimi,
I thought of you first when I heard about this. I'm thinking of Pedro bear hugs, and grumbling conquistador Spanglish, and gorgeous days in pick-up trucks and swimming holes.
It sounds like Pedro lived and died exactly how he would have wanted- strong enough to work a full day the day before. Not frail or disabled which would have been so wrong for the hard-core rancher in him that you and I know. I know you were one of the people he really loved.
I just finally made it to your blog (I accidentally deleted the first link you sent), and will look forward to keeping up with you and Gary! Big hugs!
