Dark for the rest of the day

There will be no further articles posted today in honor of Darian Willette.

QCTimes article about him.

He was a year ahead of me at Central, and while we weren't super close, he was a friend. I played on a softball team with him and we had a lot of mutual friends. He was a good guy back then, and seems to have become even more of a good guy since.

He was killed February 28th in a bus crash in Peru, where he was teaching English. With as much as he had accompished by the age of 24, we will sadly never know what great things he would have done with the rest of his life.

As always with something like this, it makes the usual bickering and pettiness seem a little less important.
