I find Faris's passing very disturbing. No doubt because I haven't crossed paths with him for fifty years, but I can not imagine him as anyone other than the young, strong lacrosse player, my team mate, that I knew. He and I shared a Baltimore / Washington area high school lacrosse background (his of a better pedigree than mine) that brought us together in our first fall at Swarthmore. His upbeat contributions to our team were important and appreciated. A truly good guy. Feeling sad. For his family, of course, but also for myself.

I remember Faris fondly for his ready humor and broad smile. I am saddened to hear he will not be with us in June.

Faris, with dark suit and brief case, was gutsy enough to be a vocal conservative on our pinko campus. Diversity at Swarthmore has its own definition.
