The Mike Nedrow Chronicles, Part One

2 April 2020: That was not the news I wanted to wake up to today, or ever. One of my favorite teachers and dearest friends passed away. I AM NOT OKAY.



Mike Nedrow was a beacon of light for me. I wouldn't have survived Garrett County without him. Not only was he a great teacher (I had him for bio lab) but he was an amazing friend. He shoveled snow out of my driveway, he bought me groceries and paid my water bill when I was too poor, he watched my cat while I was away adventuring, he gave me math books so I wouldn't go crazy (including one he had written). He cleaned my entire house after the Rapture debacle. He was always available to talk or to help or to have an adventure. His office was always open and available to anyone who needed him. Even after I moved away, he remained a steadfast friend. The last time I talked to him, he said he missed me and couldn't wait until next time I came out to visit. I guess now, whenever I get out there, I'll have to sit on the boardwalk at Cranesville Swamp and put my bare feet in the cold sphagnum moss without him. 💔💔💔
