As a child, I was for lack of better descriptive terms, precocious. I was also the youngest of four, then the youngest of seven after my mother re-married.

Being the littlest put me in a unique place. I never got in trouble. Oh, sure, trouble happened aplenty. But I wasn’t ever the one blamed for it. Not even when the blame really should have been mine to bear.

My phone rang this evening, my brother David on the other end of the line. This is unusual in a couple of ways. First, I rarely get phone calls from anyone. Second, I’ve only talked to my brother twice in the last ten years. In his typically strange way of cutting to the chase, David told me he was calling to tell me what a great visit he’d had when he and his wife Kay came through Eugene two months ago. “Ok” I say, while wondering what the real purpose for the call was, “Thanks, we had a nice visit too.” Then he dropped the bombshell, “Uncle ‘Benny’ died today.”

Marshfield has just lost two games by buzzer beaters.  They led this game until the last minute.  Willamette steals the ball and sets up for the last shot.  Miss, rebound, miss, rebound, whistle for a shooting foul just before the buzzer.  Making this shot won the game.  I like the crowds involvement.  Pensive guy in the front row is the Marshfield AD.  Off camera right is the coach stomping for all she is worth in the middle of the jump circle.  After the shot the AD would have to peel her off the referee.  Unfortunately, I did not take those shots.
