I received a phone call from my friend John last night to inform me the founder of the Brien Holden had passed away. I worked with John for one of Brien Holden’s companies for a couple of years and spoke with Brien just a couple of times. He led a very interesting life and worked hard to improve the vision care of people who had very little opportunity for it. He actually did a lot of good and put an organization in place that should continue his work now that he is gone. I am pleased to have an affiliation with them and am very sorry for his loss. It just made me reflect on the shortness of life and the need to spend every minute possible in ways that will accrue to the good, especially to the eternal good.
