I met Mortimer at an anti-war rally in 2002. We at once became fast friends, for we shared age, political views, and cultural preferences. We studied Spanish together at home and in Mexico; we worked on the same election campaigns, read some of the same books. I admired his zeal for social justice, tried to emulate his attraction to unpretentious people, often understood his impatience and frustrations, and envied his piety. It was a great pleasure at my advanced age to make a new friend. Circumstances make this for me a double loss.
Even such is time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with earth and dust;
Who, in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wandered all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days:
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust.
The old men know when an old man dies. Mortimer Presente!

Dear Brooke. I found old pictures of us from over 40 years ago and was full of wonderful memories of you and your family. In trying to reconnect somehow I found your father's obituary. I am deeply sorry. I remember your dad baking bread, reading in bright sunny rooms, driving us places in a beige car listening to music, making delicious sandwiches, and mostly his patient and bemused acceptance of my constant presence in your home. His life sounded full and interesting. My warmest wished for your family.
