Nepal: October/November 2006

 

Well, it has taken me 15 months to finally put down some thoughts and photographs of our trip to dedicate the memorial "chorten" in Nepal. I have found this task daunting and finally realized that what I truly wanted to share was Trev's memorial and so that is what I will do. More…

Update - October 04, 2006:

 

In December of 2005, the Department of Anthropology at Emory University established a permanent award in Trevor's name.  Named the "Trevor E. Stokol Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Research", it is being given to the student with the best senior research project that includes a Senior Honor Thesis.  This award is in recognition of Trevor's contribution to the department.

 

The first recipient received the award on May 2nd of 2006.

 

"I am pleased with this recognition of Trevor's impact on our lives.  I am sure that Trevor's memory will inspire others to emulate his accomplishment in biological anthropological research.  As I look at the plaque and the student who just received the award, I smile inwardly at my memory of Trevor and Abby at work in the lab and realize how special they were."

Update - November 01, 2005:

 

While reading the diary that Trevor left behind at Gorek Shep when he went on his last hike to Base Camp, we found an entry that said: 

 

"Thanks: Friends and family who wrote to me to say how much they are enjoying the updates. It's all that got me to the computer on the laziest/busiest/hung over days."

 

Thanks to all of you!!

Dear Barbara Stokol,

 

My friend, Bethany, and I met Trevor when he was trekking the Annapurna

Range in Nepal.  We met Trevor on June 17th and ended up walking the same

path that he was doing for 3 days.  He talked with us a lot (we were the

only other Americans there) and we enjoyed his company.  I took some photos

of him and put them on a page on my website.  It is

Barbara Arnie and Jodi arrived home yesterday and began shiva last night. If you would like to pop in they will be glad to see you.

August 12:

The responses to the meal participation announcement below have been completely overwhelming. It has been quite inspiring to see and a testimony to the quality of the Stokol family. However, unfortunately, it is impossible to answer them all and we ask you collectively to accept an expression of gratitude to everyone who responded. We will be getting back to you after we have had a chance to speak to Barbara when she feels up to it and decide how to handle the coordination

 

Message from Beverley:

 

So many people want to help. I have never known such remarkable support in my life, from so many people, people from around the whole world. I have a list of people who are wanting to bring a meal. I am going to check with Barbara about the kind of food they want, the frequency and when it should begin. It will be their choice. People can then email me with a couple of choices of dates and I will make up a calendar and let them know what to bring and when.

 

If you would like to participate in providing a meal please email me here and put the word “meal” in the subject line.

Dallas Morning News: August 14, 2005.

STOKOL, TREVOR ERIC died "living his dream" with camera in hand near Mt. Everest Base Camp in Nepal.  Tenacious and resilient, strong physically, emotionally and in truth, he lived an impassioned and full life.  Trevor was a graduate of RMA and Emory University and was about to start medical school, no doubt to serve the disadvantaged.  He lived his 25 years with gusto, knew no stranger and died at peace with himself and the world around him. He will be sorely missed by his parents, sister Jodi and all those who knew and loved him. May our Trevels rest in peace. A memorial service/tribute to Trevor's life will be held Wednesday August 17th at 7:00 pm at Chabad of Dallas. Contributions may be directed to Chabad of Dallas or the Trevor Stokol Fund.

I’m home.

We are coming home with heavy hearts.

 

 

Wed, 13 July:
