(Community Matters) Three sons of a working class family in Marfa. All three boys have won scholarships to Brown University. The oldest graduated and now taking preliminary courses prior to medical school. While attending Harvard and working in Boston, diagnosed with a virulent leukemia.
Our friends who own Cochineal want to organize a fundraiser. Evidently, he has no health insurance and Tom believes he is unable to afford recommended treatment.
On my way out of Marfa yesterday, I ran into Tim Crowley (just in from travels). Pleased to learn from Tim that the young man is receiving treatment at MD Anderson, not pleased to hear it is particularly virulent and from signs explained, evidently very far along.
Why do bad things happen to such good people? a mystery to us all.
