Chuck Katungi was our exchange student from Uganda. He spend many years working for the United Nations, dying of AIDS in Brussels ten years ago. I will never forget his speech to the Redwood student body in 1961, comparing race relations to the piano keyboard, needing both the black and white keys to produce beautiful music.

I remember Chuck fondly, and am sadden by his death. He was a frequent guest at my home for dinner, and sometimes we hung out on Saturdays, having fun. I love the keyboard analogy.

I miss his smile, his great accent - and him. We shared stories of our travels and similar adventures and experiences; laughed together about our times of being a minority - he here, me there - the black key on a white keyboard, the white key on the black keyboard; our goals of working globably - he iwith the UN, me with WHO, IRC.
