This issue features a tribute to long time Nice Guy Christian 'Sketch', who died in January of 1996. He was 17 years old.

"It is never entirely about where I am, what is in my sight, who is by my side, or what I am doing. It os about catching my breath, stopping it in my throat and letting it free, sensing breath, though and action; it is being alive."

"Up and down while my breath grows short and we laugh and lose ourselves on purpose and then for real and finally get back were we started. What a journey. What a life. Always breathing. How good it is to be alive."

from Christian's college entrance essay 12.95
