Wolf; any updates?

Joel had a DNR order. *He stopped breathing this morning and has
expired.

So a guy stops checking in on old friends, comes back after along
absence, and finds THIS.

Joel was the first face I saw at the first Penns I attended. Can any
of you who knew him imagine a better person as an introduction to that
fine river, or to the company of, well, the rest of you?

It was mid-afternoon and the rest of all y'all were out working the
water, so Joel jumped in the passenger seat of my car and took me down
to... well, you know where he took me. And that was that. What a
fine man.

To those of you who knew him better than I did, my condolences. You
don't need me to tell you what a great guy he was. To those who never
met him, may you have your own Joels in your life, or even better, BE
a Joel to some young man who might feel awkward at being at an event,
that you might make him feel welcome.

Tight lines, Joel.
