I knew John from the old days at Tail of the Tiger. John was a natural good person. He didn’t have the colorful neurotic psychological aspects that I and other sangha brothers and sisters had at the time, which were the reasons we were there. There were a few other members of the sangha that also seemed strangely sane for that group at that time…there weren’t many. I always liked John. I haven’t seen him for many years, but, maybe not strangely, he’s come to mind more than once recently. A very good man and student.
