I just noticed that
Jaime Escalante died last night. Escalante was
a teacher at Garfield High School in Los Angeles, and the movie
Stand and Deliver (which I really ought to see at some point) was about him. One of my friends from grad school had him as a teacher---she's quoted in the wikipedia article---and I assume that one math major from Tech who went there had him as well. (I am using the latter phrasing because I don't know for sure.)
