RIP
A few days ago, Seth Gimlan, a high school classmate of mine, passed away. I never knew Seth well, but being classmates in a class of 140 or so tends to bond people together.
After graduation, I lost touch with all but a dozen or so people I knew from those days. Facebook, for all its flaws, brought everyone back together; I think around 60 or 70 of my classmates now are Facebook friends of mine.
Seth was one of them. I knew that he had been battling cancer, but from peeking at his profile, it was clear that he had a lot of optimism, spirit, and humor. He had found his niche in film making and had moved to LA.
Naturally, I was thus quite saddened to hear of his passing. He was 28, far too young to be cut down.
My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

He suffered from glioblastoma, according to the Menlo memo. I believe it is a brain tumor of some kind. His movie “Under the Gaydar” is supposed to be coming out next month.
