Dear Vision Forum, I graduated from the same class at Wheaton College (1991) as Todd Beamer. Did not know him, but knew Lisa very casually. (Sort of surprising considering there were only about 5-600 of us in the class.)

Very sobering for me to have two young children with another in the womb just as they did.....to know that he was exactly my age and station in life.....and to look in the mirror and wonder if I would have had the same courage and trust in God.

Wheaton has a tradition of such manliness...Nate Saint, Jim Elliot, Ed McCulley included.
