Braving the Bulls
James Patrick White was sitting over a beer in a bar in Hoboken, N.J., with two high school buddies when they got the idea. They would take off for Spain and run with the bulls at Pamplona.

The night before the run they drank a lot of beer and were so worried they would oversleep and miss the bulls that they slept on the street in their clothes. Somehow, they survived the stampede. "It was very scary," said Tom Kane, one of the friends. "We kind of leaned on each other to get the courage to do it."

Mr. White, 34, a Cantor Fitzgerald bond broker, was the oldest of five children, three of them boys. He played varsity tennis in high school in Hightstown, N.J., skiied, rode mountain bikes and ran the New York City Marathon three times, twice with his brother Mike. It took him 4 hours, 40 minutes the first time. Then four hours. "The third time we were lazy," said Mike, who had run one year with their brother Greg. "Our time wasn't so good. But we finished."

I felt a chill run thru me. It was Patrick who I never knew coming to thank me for coming and asking me to never forget. I never will. As we near the coming 20 year anniversary of this day, I want to...

Forever Young

As you often do, you came to visit me in my dreams last night. Usually when this happens, it is during special dates for us. It's been quite some time since you visited, and last night's dream came as a surprise. You always did like surprises! This time of year was typically when we would make plans to see each other during the summer. While visiting me one summer, you asked if you could have my heart: a piece of it will always be with you. After all of this time you still hold a special...

We will never forget.

RIP Buddy, never forgotten...
