I knew John Boyer fairly well. My company, Raised Dot Computing, hired him to work on the mathematics translator for our program MegaDots. Collaborating on software required lots of time communicating with him, mostly me with the Teletouch, and him speaking. I was on the board of his non-profit for a time. I sadly lost touch with him after my family left Madison, and I was working on a competing product. I have so many good memories. May he always be remembered as a shining star of the human race.
