I only had the privilege of getting to know Tim well in our senior year, but our friendship developed such that a few years after graduation he stood in my wedding. Tim was one of our brilliant classmates--Fullbright, math doctorate--and his career, though far too brief, was very interesting. He left the space shuttle program shortly before the 1986 Challenger tragedy. He had been responsible for developing the return trajectories for the shuttle missions. Diagnosed with cancer in 1991, he threw himself into fully experiencing what time he had left. He was a man in full, if too brief.
