Newspaper columnist Mitchell Albom recounts time spent with his 79-year-old sociology professor at Brandeis University, Morrie Schwartz, who was dying from Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS).  Albom, a former student of Schwartz, had not corresponded with him since attending his college classes 16 years earlier.  After seeing Schwartz on Nightline, Albom called Schwartz, who remembered his former pupil despite the lapse of 16 years. Albom was prompted to travel from Michigan to Massachusetts to visit Morrie. A newspaper strike frees Albom to commute weekly, on Tuesdays, to visit with Schwartz.
