R.I.P., Prince Omar
My cat, Prince Omar, was hit and killed by an inattentive driver midday last Tuesday, July 15. Although I am well aware that all pet owners say this, Prince Omar truly was one-of-a-kind.
He was the unofficial mascot of Manchester College; there was even a feature article written about him in the MC newspaper that can be seen at: http://www.manchester.edu/OSD/OakLeaves/archives/Issue_15/

He touched many lives, and was loved by countless people. Whether following around groups of visitors to the campus; frolicking and visiting with students, faculty, staff AND their dogs during campus events on the mall; or terrorizing the local squirrel population, he was always making an impact on the lives of those who he came into contact with.
Please, I beg of each of you, drive attentively. Omar's death was untimely, and could have been prevented.
