I don't feel much need to visit Glenn Gould's grave, but I did
meet him once. He played one his few public recitals at Ohio
Wesleyan Univ. when I was an undergrad there back in the mid-
fifties. Since he played fewer than forty public recitals during his
all too brief career, I feel especially lucky to have attended one.
Mastering this universe one Higgs boson at a time.
