CALL ME SNAKE

Years ago, while writing an article about drug addiction, I spoke with a researcher/activist with whom I’d talked many times over the years. At the time he was suffering from acute leukemia and from what he said about it, I thought he was a goner. I had not heard his name mentioned for many years which confirmed my hunch that he had not survived. But yesterday I read an article on the same subject about which I had written more than 10 years ago. The guy I was worried about is still alive and kicking–and still pursuing his research.
