Just watched "A Beautiful Mind"...and had forgotten a lot.

3 years ago (2015) I visited NJ around July...and a family member (now deceased) said she knew / met Dr. Nash.

As I was reviewing a few articles on the car crash that took both Dr. Nash / his wife Alicia on May 23, 2015 it mentioned that he also had fathered John David Stier. In the article, talking about his brother who also is at Princeton , is a math whiz and suffers from delusions...it mentions Dr. Stier, who received a Ph.D. from Rutgers in Math.

Just wondered if anyone had any first hand experience with him...anecdotes .

Thanks

I was going to post that as a reply....Dr. John: the Night Tripper.

Et Toi!

PS Seriously I'm just trying get an insight into Dr. Nash / this case his child who is connected to us by virtue of his Ph.D. (maybe he's on this board).

Can't help you seriously but Dr. John could play it.

I remember in 1968...Christ 50 years ago, I landed in Long Beach, CA as a Grad Asst. in Psychology.

After a couple of weeks I was invited to come to a musician's club called "The People of Orphalese". I wound up in a blues band ("God Only Knows"...we did play on the same stage as Taj Majhal). The founder of the group Boogie Bruce and I became fast friends...and he turned me on to the blues: I had just started to get the sound from the Yardbirds (e.g. I'm a Man ) / Stones (e.g. Spider and the Fly) ... not realizing that they were playing OUR music.

Anyway several times Bruce would throw on a Dr. John the Night Tripper LP...we'd light up, watch the Smothers Bros. and then Jam.

Those were the days!
