Goodbye, Kurt

We are told that Kurt Vonnegut died yesterday. So it goes.

Mr. Vonnegut meant a lot to many of us at the Secular Student Alliance. He was the honorary president of the American Humanist Association. He was very skeptical of religion. His writing suggested how to meet the absurdities and cruelties of life with humor, humility and compassion.

We're going to miss you, Kurt.
