  • Remembering Jack Ramsay

    My dad died a week ago. We had a com­pli­cat­ed relationship. What can I say about him? He was a mys­te­ri­ous man. I have few specifics. What I have are some details that paint a gauzy pic­ture of whom I under­stand him to be, or to have been. I know that his child­hood was fraught. That…
