Russel Crow/John Nash

Professor John Nash was a genius mathematician played by Russel Crow in a movie titled A Beautiful Mind. Professor John Nash was a bit schitzo. He struggled with schizophrenia Professor Nash did. It almost destroyed his life and career. If not for the support of his devoted loving wife, he would have never been able to persevere. He went on to be awarded the Nobel Prize giving hope to all mentally ill, and I hate to admit this, not being a fan of his, he was excellently portrayed by Russel Crow. I know this to be true. I've crossed paths with Nash a time or two. and Russell Crow portrayed him to the tee. I was a trucker at the time and every now and then I'd make some deliveries and cross paths with Mr Nash on the college campus grounds of Princeton University.

Wow! Didn't see this movie, but now wish I had, Bill. And to think you actually got to meet Mr. Nash at Princeton. I have memories of my own tied to that quaint campus and you brought some of them back for me. A great entry for the contest! Love, Carolyn
