Today I was profoundly saddened to learn of
the passing of Barnaby Jack at the age of 35. A few years ago Barnaby attacked my ATM, and he did so with brilliance, integrity, charisma, and
chutzpah. To quote from
my earlier essay about Barnaby's attack, "Barnaby and I started as adversaries and ended as friends". Indeed, that is where we ultimately ended. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.
