Happy Anniversary!

September 16, 2021
Today is our otherwise 20th anniversary. We had never paid attention to this date as it was delayed by one day. Though we had gone through some dramatic events to be together, it could not be compared to the ordeals that he went through to board a plane to cross the Pacific Ocean immediately after the September 11 attack. I could only imagine that it was like Saigon or Kabul before the fall. He turned his stressful experience into a funny, exciting and memorable story to tell for the many years to come. He might not remember every detail of our Chinese wedding but he could easily tell all the juicy details how he out-witted other passengers to get on the first flight across the ocean. It was not a frustration that his business connections failed to help but it was a funny detail that even the CEO of Air Canada got stranded in a small town in Ontario. Life was fair to every one at that moment.

This is our Milo. His life was so full of chapters of funny, exciting and memorable stories that had shared with us. That is how we remember him and his beautiful life...forever!



Masters Swimming

March 4, 2021
Milo was our fastest swimmer, adjusted for age. He looked 35 but had a few PhDs in math so I knew he had to be older. After hammering out 4,000 yards before anyone showed up, he would push us with another hard set. 

I enjoyed talking to Milo about the Stock Markets. He had designed several proprietary algorithms which benefitted from volatility. He graciously answered my questions about what would be considered a competitive space. One time I asked him about capital structure volatility arbitrage. He said it was based on a paper by Robert Merton contending that, at certain points in the life cycle of a company, different levels of the capital structure would compete for the same assets. Pretty much what I had just read. Milo was a good swimmer, a great mind and a great friend to all of us at Toronto Athletic Club. 

To my friend Milo:  I missed you when you were in Hong Kong. You left us too early. I miss talking with you and swimming with you. A tremendous loss for all who knew you

Mi más sentido pésame a la familia de mi mejor profesor en Genève. Gran persona, inteligente, de una sensibilidad extraordinaria, han pasado muchos años desde entonces, cuando le conocí año 92, 93 pero el lazo invisible que une las Almas gemelas hoy me hizo buscar en Google su nombre y me encuentro con la triste noticia, está claro, Milo querido, que me has hablado desde el cielo. Descansa en Paz. Mi respeto a la familia y mucho ánimo
