Birthday

Tomorrow would have been Chrys's 35th birthday. At first I planned to just stay at home and fall apart -- Maybe watch "Finding Nemo" and cry (we loved that movie and named our dog after the blue fish).

Last year we had a BBQ. We were surrounded by friends. We were so happy. Life was good.

What a difference a year makes.

Rather than let the day go by, I wanted to do something that would honor Chrys's memory. So I'm hosting a BBQ party in commemoration of Chrys's birthday. I've got a big group of our friends coming over to spend the afternoon together, eat and (of course) drink!

We miss you, baby.
Happy Birthday.

The Wurm Tap Room at Tower Club

Thanks and "cheers" to Ken and Lisa!

At the memorial service for Chrys at Tower Club on Saturday (just before the Princeton Reunion P-rade), Ken announced that he and Lisa got the Tap Room (bar/game room) at Tower Club dedicated to Chrys. Almost every room at Tower Club had already been dedicated to other alumni, but it was fate that the one room that Wurm loved more than any other was available for dedication. After hearing people share their stories of Wurm drinking, laughing, smiling, drinking, playing games, and working on problem sets (while drinking)- almost exclusively in the Tap room - this announcement was especially moving. Chrys would be thrilled!

While the plaque was not ready in time for the service it will read:

In honor of great memories and
fun times shared here,
this Tap room is
dedicated to
Chrystian Wurmser '92
Our beloved friend Wurm
With love from his friends in Tower
