Well, I have never talked to him about personal issues, but after reading the archive messages and seeing his pictures, I got to know him very well.
Curtis was only 55, graduated from Stanford in 4 years with his BS & MS, he then worked at Bell Lab. A smart guy anyway you put him.
I figured many of us are pretty smart, but many of us ended up with road blocks in life. They keep saying when life throws you a curve ball, it is time to change our plans. But life does not throw anyone a curve ball. As life is not dictated by anyone. I don't believe God have a detail road map for everyone of us. He does have the power to change the circumstances, but he seldom do so. I believe however, the struggles we have in life are rather minute.
My world was coming to an end when I broke my wrist 2 months before HKCEE. My world ends again when I got my first A- in college. My world ends yet again when I did not get my transfer. My mentor told me, there were mountains when we look at them at the bottom, but once we pass through them there were nothing but a small rock.
Curtis ended his life in spirits. I really admire him for that.
