Tony was the first person I met at the University of Maryland, and he always said I was the first person he met there, too. That was at freshman orientation, 1990. Goodness, we were young and green back then. At least I was.

A few random flashes of reminiscence:

• Singing a duet version of "When Doves Cry" with Tony while strolling across the Washington University campus with Jen of the Greenleafs.
• Cutting generics practice with Tony to go see "Phish" in concert. Probably pissed the group off, but it was a hell of a bonding experience. Tony was nuts for singer/guitarist Trey Anastasio, he just kept saying "He *is* the man."
• Taking Robin Sawyer's "Human Sexuality" class together. We had planned for some time to do that when we were seniors. We missed the in-class film on female ejaculation because of a generics gig - now *that* was loyalty!
• Visiting Tony for the first time since he became sick. That was during my spring break in March '97. We spent the afternoon playing catch-up and laughing. He looked so different - yet there was no denying, this was definitely Tony Went, true and gold.
