West Point, 1999

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by jeff carlson on March 31, 2001:

nathan and i met in high school, i was immediately fascinated with his
intelligence and his quick witted humor. their are so many stories
that i wouldn't know where to start. some of the best times that i will always remember are the many days we spent fishing off a bridge on the southside of fargo, we really wouldn't do as much fishing as we would razzin each other and just laughing. nathan also had a knack for changing the words of popular songs, the one song i will always remember is "rock me gently" by andy kim, that song will never be the same. i think about nathan everyday, and how i miss him, i learned how precious life is, don't ever leave your friends or family angry because you never know if you will get to say hello or goodbye again. i never got to say goodbye so that it was i would like to do, nathan i will always remember you, your grin, your laugh, your walk, everything, you hold a close place in my heart and i will never forget you. stay gold buddy.
