Andy Puopolo

TWO WEEKS have passed since the stabbing of Andrew Puopolo '77 after an end-of-season football team dinner. About the magnitude of the crime and the senselessness of the circumstances, there is little that can be said to convey an appropriate sense of outrage.

Andy Puopolo is best known in the Harvard community as an outstanding football player, a starting cornerback, a standout in tackles and interceptions, and just three weeks ago, a winner of the player of the week award. To many he is also a close and devoted friend, a friend worthy of admiration, not only for his accomplishments in athletics and academics, but also for a remarkable ability to persevere in the face of adversity.

Our thought and sympathy is with Andy and his family during their long vigil.
