The Death of a Senior in High School

As most Iranians who were here in the US were considered to be supporters or allies of the Shah, revolutionary courts executed thousands of them. Many whole families just disappeared when they arrived back in Iran. It's been 35 years and every once in a while I open my high school yearbook and look at the names and faces of my old friends. As I considered the fear they felt as they were pawns and expendables and a political battle they really had nothing to do with. Rest in peace, my friends.
