Dear Anne:
My sincere condolences on Myles's death. Myles was one of the first
people I met when I arrived at Columbia in the fall of 1962. Others were
George Rinehart, Jon Beck, Fred Linton, Steve Schanuel, all now gone.
But I really got to know him in Zurich in 1967. I was, and still am,
impressed by his mathematical accomplishments.
Myles had a hard life. First his fall from a cliff, then losing one child
(already unimaginable), then the second one, then his recent illness.
But he bore it all with stoicism and grace. A real loss.
Michael
