An incredibly talented writer, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo´s Nest" is a classic, one of a kind. Heartfelt condolences to the Goldman family, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all in your time of loss.

We met Bo and Mab in 1979 when he rented an office in the same building that housed La Belle Helene restaurant, where we worked. We were newly married and starting a new life and he and Mab knew how hard that was. They had us over to their beautiful Napa Valley home for an unforgettable dinner. Shortly after that, we moved to Brazil. We kept in touch and they graciously offered to help us in any way upon our return. They never stopped sharing their hearts and minds. We never had the chance to tell them that the young man that cooked for them in the restaurant ended up getting a PhD and becoming a professor of linguistics at UC Davis. We lost touch with Bo and Mab but always remembered them. Even more than a great artist, Bo was an Incredible human being. Mia, Serena, Justin, Diana, Amy and family: we are so sorry for your loss.
