I had never met Jan Schultz, an anesthesiologist who works with Seong, when I agreed to join him sailing from Sitka to Ketchikan.
I arrived at the boat in the early evening, and met his friend Shoko, who was leaving the next morning. She was quiet and engaging and we listened to the commencement address by David Foster Wallace; she liked it enough that she’ll be playing it for her son.
