Dr. Ferrous on Nostr: in the revision I am working on today, I cite a former professor I knew at ...
in the revision I am working on today, I cite a former professor I knew at Cincinnati. He passed away a couple of years ago at 78 and I did not have the chance to talk with him about how our interests converged. Reading comments on his obituary, I learned another professor from UC (who I knew much better) had also passed away. This prof was on my dissertation committee and I remember his class and mentorship well. He was 51. A year older than I am now. I don't know how to think about this... there are a lot of emotions...
