A Daughter Remembers Her Dad As He Was Before COVID. Before he was one of nearly 500k Americans taken by COVID, Salman Wasti was a Jeopardy! phenom, a professor of biology and a homebody -- among many other things. "I always tell my mom, don't let the month of December be his life," says his daughter Noreen Wasti. "He had so many other years of important things, that's not who he was, you know." Thank you to @wbur, @cloeax, @francesmargaret, and Faces of COVID for this opportunity to honor my Dad’s legacy through a platform he cherished dearly — public radio. http://www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/2021/02/19/faces-of-covid-noreen-salman-wasti-frannie-carr-toth-cloe-axelson @wbur #covidgriefstories #covidgrief #facesofcovid #covid19 #coviddeath #npr #wbur #publicradio #morningedition
