The Duran on the recent incursions by Ukraine

RIP Bernie Maskit

A very kind man who revived my research by introducing me to Perry Susskind’s thesis. I had a brief collaboration with him and a longer collaboration was lost in mail. I had many pleasant moments with him and Perry who visited me later in Melbourne. Mladen Bestvina tells me that I told him about combination theorems which led to his important work with Feighn on combination theorems for word hyperbolic groups. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Maskit
