Alexander Elias Alexander Elias was born on July 24, 1945, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and died on October 19, 1966, from in¬ ternal injuries sustained in a motor scooter accident near his home in Watertown. To attempt to fully expound on the life that Alex lived is, totally, impossible; to merely highlight those twenty-one years, on the other hand, is to leave too much unsaid. What is left now is to attempt to realize our own mortality by trying to understand the life of someone who was very much alive, very close, and very real to many of us. Though ultimately his death cannot really be understood, at least his life can remain a memory alive within us. And if we are to learn from anyone, certainly we can learn from the man that was Alex. Alex graduated Watertown High School in 1963 where he was honored as the outstanding student athlete in football, baseball, and basketball. At Tufts, Alex was a major in political science, intending to study for a law degree, was first baseman on the varsity baseball team, and was house chairman of his fraternity, Alpha Epsilon Pi. In addition to having taught Sunday School, Alex was on his way to becoming a Big Brother to a fatherless youth in the Boston area. His interests were diverse, his personality was dynamic, and his positive effect on people was lasting. Tenderness and strength, pride and humility, joy and sorrow were so delicately blended within Alex that he seemed a product of the best in all of us. The selfless love he wore so casually never faltered. With a glance or a smile, or a wink of his eye, Alex made your world alive, and you felt yourself hugging him with all your might, not caring at all if anyone was watching. How can words now make that feeling real? Phonse — you were a fine son, a close friend, and a very good man. 6
