Bernard sang in our choir at St. Paul in Cambridge for many years. I knew he was a professor at MIT but I had no idea of the extent of his discoveries! He was just a regular guy who enjoyed singing and the comradery of the group. And that was one of the great things about him! We miss him. My condolences to Betsy and his family.
