Howard Cook

In 1994 Professor Cook and I drive to Auburn to attend the annual Spring Topology conference. One evening I got out the hotel room to join a group of mathematicians for a smoking break. After learning we came in Howards car, Professor J T Rogers of Tulane University said: Howard is the smartest mathematician at this conference. And everyone else agreed.

My thoughts are with you all. -Susan Fitzpatrick Pool, Gold Hill, AL
