Two years ago, I got together with 4 of my high school friends (Martin Van Buren HS, Class of 1973). We were discussing The NY Times crossword and one friend mentioned that our 11th grade trigonometry teacher Randy Ross was a crossword constructor and was a regular contributor to the NY Times. Mr Ross was an amazing math teacher, loved and respected by his students. I myself retired recently as a math teacher, and I can only hope that I will be remembered half as fondly by my students as Mr Ross is remembered by us.
