'Tuesdays With Morrie' is the heartwarming story of Albom's relationship with his college mentor, Morrie Schwartz, with whom Albom has lost touch for 16 years. Upon seeing him on the 'Nightline' program -- talking to Ted Koppel about what it was like to die from Lou Gehrig's disease -- Albom was both horrified and ashamed. He called his old teacher, flew to Boston for a reunion, and began a series of weekly visits, rekindling their loving teacher-student relationship while tackling a larger subject in their final class -- 'the meaning of life.'
