DAVE O’HARA: Phil’s brother and Pearl’s friend, he had an antipathy toward me that bothered Pearl, confused me, and was probably driven by his friendship with Peter.<\/p>\n
DAVE’S PEARL: Dave’s fianc\u00e9e Pearl, as opposed to my friend Pearl.<\/p>\n
DIRK: I first met him sophomore year in Food Service. \u00a0He was a freshman. \u00a0Nancy told me he was asking about me, but was turned off when she said he was shy. \u00a0He wasn’t my type, anyway. \u00a0Friend and roommate of Carl. \u00a0Later became Phil’s friend.<\/p>\n
FRANK: Heidi’s friend; may have also been a boyfriend. \u00a0He later became an RA for Grossheusch. \u00a0Also one of Shawn’s friends. \u00a0Though he didn’t run in my circles once Shawn left, all my friends seemed to know who he was. \u00a0Not a bad guy, but did like to make dirty jokes.<\/p>\n
GLEN: My friend Catherine’s first husband. \u00a0They married during my junior year. \u00a0He was also a friend of Stefan and Heidi, so I often saw him when he came to visit them.<\/p>\n

MIKE: Part of my main group of friends. \u00a0I first met him sophomore year; he was the brother of my suitemate Wendy, so I saw him in the suite once or twice, and then he began attending InterVarsity. \u00a0He joined our little group junior year and became a lifelong friend.<\/p>\n
MONA S: I met her freshman year; she dropped out early my sophomore year. \u00a0We became prayer partners for a while and shared dreams for a revival at Roanoke. \u00a0I believe she knew Shawn. \u00a0After she left, we wrote to each other for a few years.<\/p>\n
MONA V: One of the first people I met when I came to Roanoke. \u00a0She was also Cindy’s friend, so I saw her occasionally, and she knew Peter from high school.<\/p>\n
NICOLE: The French Suite Mentor my freshman year. \u00a0She was always very nice to me. \u00a0She and Heidi became good friends, so I saw her in the German Suite a lot. \u00a0Unfortunately, Nicole went back to France after freshman year. \u00a0I saw her once more after that, when she came to visit her old friends.<\/p>\n

PERSEPHONE: Phil began a tumultuous relationship with her–even though she wasn’t in love with him–about a week or two after our last breakup.<\/p>\n

RANDY: First, he was Peter’s friend. \u00a0Then he was Cindy’s friend. \u00a0I saw him around school, and we’d say hi, though I didn’t really know him until senior year, when we had a class together. \u00a0He began dating one of my friends senior year.<\/p>\n
RUTH: My German teacher freshman year.<\/p>\n
SHAWN: My second college boyfriend (non-exclusive), if you can call him that, freshman through sophomore year.<\/p>\n
STEFAN: My freshman year suitemate and Tom’s roommate. \u00a0He was German, sweet, and a lawyer, only at RC for a short time. \u00a0My friend Catherine’s first husband Glen knew him; Stefan would call them and say, “This is STE-fan from GEHR-many!”<\/p>\n
