While each person spoke, it became increasingly difficult for me to hold back my tears. Fortunately, I was not alone and one of my former teammates place her reassuring arm around me. After the brief dedication, we filed into the hall to await the journey across the river for the scoreboard ceremony. Softball team members, past and present, gathered near the stairs to console each other. A book was passed around in which each of us wrote down our memories of Becky for her parents...
There is a University committee now working hard to understand the complex relationship between Harvard and the military, including Harvard's arrangements with ROTC. The gay and lesbian community at Harvard has been asked to be patient and await for this committee's conclusions and recommendations. This we have done for the entire academic year.

After Hurricane Andrew nearly destroyed the base last August, President Bush pledged that "we will rebuild Homestead Air Force Base." In the current budget-crunching climate, it seems unlikely that promise will be kept...
