Some sad news to pass along--
Augustine Kim (Yale '02, Georgetown Law '05) passed away earlier this week after suffering a heart attack. He was twenty-eight years old.
Those of you who played against Augustine will remember him as one of the nicest, friendliest guys on the circuit. He was a wonderful person and he will be sorely missed.
If you know anyone who knew Aug who doesn't read these boards, please let them know.

Re: Augustine Kim
I've never met him, but I'm now sad that I'll never get the chance to.
RIP

Um... as somebody who wasn't a quizbowler (at least, not since high school), but was Augustine's best friend, he truly loved doing this and all the people he met doing it. He'd certainly be glad to know he was remembered for it.
Re: Augustine Kim
Aie! (This is what I get for not looking in this part of the boards in a week-ish)...
Will forward to fellow local/GWACC Alumni...

I don't care whose fault this was, just get it sorted! And could someone please bring me something deep fat fried and smothered in chocolate?! ~ Fairy Godmother, "Shrek 2"

Re: Augustine Kim
I'm very sorry to hear this too. He was an exceptionally nice guy.
