In Memoriam T.K. Rabb
17-Oct-19One of the things no one told me about having children is: as you reach the age when you are focusing on your kids and birth and new life and all of that, the world you grew up in is passing away: death comes to claim his due from your aunts and uncles, your family friends and teachers, your old neighbors and the people who ran the businesses you grew up with. And you don’t really have time to process it all, or pay due tribute to those who pass. When I heard Ted Rabb had passed away in January, I wanted to get a chance to write a tribute to him, but I couldn’t get it done until just a few weeks ago. He was the creator of the course sequence that would be the closest thing I had to an intellectual home at Princeton. Thanks to the University Bookman for being willing to publish this tribute.
