sad news

I was shocked and saddened today to learn of the death of Kent Hendrickson. I really don't know how to react at this point, but I will miss him & 4th floor of Love won't be the same without him. Kent was a colleague and a friend. He was a warm and genuine person who cared deeply about education and UNL. It's very hard to understand that he's really gone.
