Robert Goldman

I also was assigned as a member of XYZ to tutor Bobby in, as I recall, algebra. He was a celebrity and a vig credit to the Old Grey and the admin were fearful of his failing math. He was almost compeletly uninterested in the subject. I once asked him if he had a girlfriend or went out with girls and he replied that he had never met a girl he couldn't beat even if he spotted them a bishop and several pawns (anyway something like that.) An extraodinary character.

Duggy, as we used to call him was a very close friend of mine and Matt Miller's. I agree with theprevious comments that he was unusually brilliant, but he had a very troubled relationship with his parents esspecially his dad and he used to take refuge at my apartment after school. He would call home and tell the housekeeper that he was tied up at "the Embassy" which always impressed her tremendously. He was very fond of music and he used to closet himself for hours with Jeffrey Hart who was a gifted pianist for what they called their "Sonatathon," listening in chronological order to all of the Beethoven piano sonatas. I was in India the year he died and did not learn of his death untl I got back. I was in shocked disbelief and sadness that has never fully left.  Best to you all.
