Dear Colleagues,
Here is a nice remembrance published in the local Berkeley paper, a little light on the academics, perhaps. https://www.berkeleyside.com/2020/08/06/remembering-steven-d-goodman-aut....
Steve was my first Buddhist philosophy teacher, back at the Nyingma Institute in the mid-70s. He made it all seem very exciting. He had a sparkling wit, and a generous heart.
