“Ranko Bon writes and paints.” Good for you! Enjoy life. I knew you as a math teacher at Northeastern. When I confessed my fear of public speaking, without cracking a smile, you told me I have to think of the audience as “1 times n.” I picked you up at the bus stop once after class and drove you to Cambridge, which was good except that I got a flat tire that evening. I found you both fascinating and intimidating… The most serious person I had ever met.
