The elder brother today named a name remembered from grade school and not heard in more than 40 years. He called him our father’s “nemesis” and mentioned he passed away several months ago, which turns out the same day our father had urgent heart surgery, which was diagnosed and scheduled five days prior. His clueless twelfth-house daughter now getting up to speed considers a powerhouse nativity and supposes we’re not the only ones whose family shadow includes this name. Years later, while casually talking with a neighbor-friend in a different academic city 250 miles to the north in the late 1980s, we mentioned our fathers’ careers and realized they were from very same small department, during the same academic era, which would have been helmed by this very same man.
