I like to take a moment of silence for my professor, Dr. Alan Fried. Though i only knew Dr. Fried this semester, i believe he was one of the nicest professors i've had the pleasure of taking. His death took me by surprise today, and just drained me of all my energy. At this time, though he will never read this, i would like to say thank you Dr. Fried for teaching me what you did. You will truly be missed. Farewell Dr. Fried
