My 2001 Oprah Magazine Article About J is Now Online.

As the first anniversary of J’s death comes around (it’s Saturday, and I will, coincidentally or not, be back visiting Chapel Hill), “Journey to Healing”, the article I wrote about him for O, the Oprah Magazine—the one that hit the newsstands on September 10, 2001—has been published online in the archives of Oprah’s website, where it will be available and linkable from now on. One curious thing about this article is that I didn’t realize then that he was already showing the early signs of dementia. I thought it was just post-traumatic stress—and certainly it was that, too.
