RIck Ratowsky

I remember to you my friend and colleague, Rick Ratowsky, who died of cancer this weekend. I remember him as a talented and thorough physicist, insightful and inspired, and a gentle soul. The world is the poorer for his having passed from it so young.

Oren,
Thanks for leaving your comment. I looked at your Flikr page. Yes, indeed, you are a photographer. You have your own photographer's "way of seeing," of which I look forward to seeing more.

Regards to your mother. I think I only met her once, twenty years ago, when she and your dad were vacationing at a B&B in Pacific Grove.
