authors.
When I was in middle school, Jeff and his family moved near our house. At a neighbourhood party, I was a
3
kid playing basketball alone. Jeff walked over, introduced himself to me. He took a true interest in getting to know me, asking about my hobbies. Although we had just met, I had the

during the talk. He would have amused you with humour and encouraged you to seek for the most meaningful moments in life.
