I just read of John’s death in the most recent issue of the U of Iowa alumni magazine. My recollection is that we met through the Adirondack Mountain Club, and I regret I never got to know him well. We had a peculiar connection. I am from Iowa City, and both of us graduated from the University of Iowa. While he was in grad school, he lived in a trailer parked on the grounds of the house where I grew up and had once belonged to my grandmother. We also both knew one of his favorite professors, Himie Voxman. From talking with John, I knew some things about his eventful life, but I find the details in the obituary amazing. The world needs more people like him.
