In Memoriam: Sigurd Knemeyer

by Dirk December 2, 2006

My Father passed away on October 2, 2006, succumbing to cancer less than four weeks after learning that he was ill. He was a solitary person who tried hard to help the people in his life, touching not only his family and friends but multiple generations of students during a long and successful teaching career.

Morality and the lessons of youth

by Dirk February 15, 2006

Yesterday, the ride validator at the train station wasn’t working. It would have been a simple matter for me to get on the train without the validation, since I was only traveling one stop and they would almost certainly not do a check at that point – meaning that I would essentially get a free [...]

Boundless

by Dirk November 14, 2004

My mother loves to talk about my strong observation ability and attention to detail. Her favorite example is that – even before I was able to walk – I would notice changes in rooms around the house. She talks about bringing home something she did not want me to see, hiding it on top of [...]

Tell Me Why

by Dirk November 14, 2004

I was reading at a really early age; before pre-school, certainly. I would have to ask my mom to figure out how young. But in the late pre-school period my parents bought me a series of books – Tell Me Why More Tell Me Why Still More Tell Me Why. Those might not be the [...]

Sam on the Jolly Blue

by Dirk November 14, 2004

This was my favorite book as a wee one. My dad went up to a bookstore in Ann Arbor. I don’t remember what for. I went along. I don’t remember the day at all, but my booty was this new book – Sam on the Jolly Blue. It was the story of a gentle fisherman [...]

Moby

by Dirk November 14, 2004

While I’m sure that I heard cuts from “Play” before knowing what I was listening to, I was first exposed to Moby through Jan. Either her daughter or son-in-law gave her the Play CD. And for many, many months Jan played it. And played it. And played it. I liked it from the beginning but [...]

Jealous little shit

by Dirk November 14, 2004

During my sister’s first few weeks back from the hospital after being born, I must have been pretty jealous of all the attention that she had. So I took some sort of product – likely baby lotion – and put it in her eyes. She was hurt pretty badly and cried, and all things considered [...]

Pink Floyd

by Dirk November 14, 2004

I discovered Pink Floyd as a 12 year old. An older girl that I had a crush on liked them so I just adopted them. As it happens in these “twist of fate” situations, when I actually heard their music (well after declaring they being my favourite band) it was exactly the music for me. [...]

Ira

by Dirk November 14, 2004

I went to pre-school at the Jewish Community Center. This was actually the first of…seven total schools I attended before graduating high school. I don’t remember much from it. I remember celebrating Jewish holidays and really not liking the tast of motzah, although I did – even then – enjoy learning about the new culture. [...]
