Earlier this morning I e-mailed an old friend, Mark. We have been out of touch for 12 years, but the 36 is a wonderful thing. Finding his e-mail address 37 less than a minute. He is working on his doctoral paper in western America.
Mark and I met at a summer 38 that we both attended. I went every year from the time I was 8 or 9 until I was 15. I don’t 39 exactly, but I think Mark was there for as many years as I was.
We lived close to each other and 40 saw each other around the campsite, but not often. Mostly we stayed together for a week or two in the 41 and wrote letters back and forth during the rest of the first few years. I still have all of his letters in a box somewhere. I e across them occasionally and 42 to sit down and read through them, but I never have. He was a 43 and precious friend to me, and I am deeply 44 that we have drifted so far apart.
Mark was a very kind and incredibly bright and funny 45 . He loved Monty Python — I mean he was a fanatic(狂热者), and could 46 entire movies from memory. He was one of those kids who 47 such a unique and powerful mind 48 they never quite fit into the main stream of life. 49 Mark, who I believe realized that, never seemed to care about it. When I knew that Mark was working on his 50 (on a highly intellectual and fairly mysterious and difficult topic), I thought, “Well yes, of course.” He is just where I would
51 him to be.
I wonder if he will write me back. I wonder if he will be 52 by where I am. I wonder whether he and I can be 53 again, or whether these years have left us with 54
in mon. I wonder whether he can ever be the man I 55 , or only remain the boy I knew.
