7/6/2023 0 Comments Mitch and morrieMitch refers to these visits as the “last class”, a reference to their college relationship. The title of this book arises from the former student’s weekly visits to his former teacher’s home, which occur on Tuesdays. Because Mitch was still relatively young and in good health, he felt an obligation to visit his sick mentor before the time would arise where he could no longer reach out to his elder. Nearly two decades later, the two came together again as Mitch learned from an episode of “Nightline” that Morrie was critically ill from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, a condition which cripples the individual’s ability to control their own muscles until they waste away. Morrie, who taught Mitch at Brandies University, became a mentor to the author before he was to become an ambitious award-winning and acclaimed sportswriter. ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’ by Mitch Albom is the story of the and his rekindled relationship with his former college Morrie Schwartz, in the final months of Morrie’s life.
