Re: [nycpul] Amir Lopatin

I am so sorry to hear this tragic news.  If I may, I have a few NYCPUL memories to share:
 
I was so glad when Amir created NYCPUL several years ago.  It was a pleasure to have an organized ultimate league here in the city, since like most people I was used to playing pickup in the dustbowl in Central Park atop rocks and glass and whatnot.
 
Amir put a great deal of effort into getting the playing field and organizing the league, both tough tasks in NYC.  I know many people (myself included), really enjoyed playing organized ultimate for the first time in a long time.  I still have my t-shirt from the first season and will think of Amir whenever I wear it on the field.

Hi,

I regret to inform you of the passing of Amir Lopatin, founder of NYCPUL.  Amir was killed in a tragic car accident near Las Vegas on March 25, 2004.  He was 28 years old.  Amir left his job as a computer programmer in New York to pursue a PhD in Education Technology at Stanford.  He is survived by his mother, older brother and sister, and many friends and family. 

I was Amir's girlfriend and I know how much he loved ultimate and how proud he was of NYCPUL.  Please consider renaming the league in his honor in order to keep his memory, as well as his virtues of love and dedication, alive.

Thank you

Lisa Rosenblatt
