Even when Andrew was at
his sickest he did not come across as mentally ill except to people who knew
him well. He had a very lucid side that he showed to the world that only eluded
him when he was at his worst.
On a visit home during
his first year at West Chester, Andrew who usually kept things to himself
showed me a letter that a dorm mate had written to him. I have somehow
misplaced the letter and I am so sad not to have it to share. It spoke of
Andrew’s sensitivity to her problems, his willingness to listen and his
insight. She ended with being so amazed that she had found such an incredible
person right in her dorm at West Chester University. Andrew was an incredible
person, thoughtful and self-aware.
