John Nash, 86-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winning mathematician died tragically in a car accident, along with his 82-year-old Alicia. Nash' life was portrayed in the blockbuster hit, A Beautiful Mind, starring Russell Crowe. While a genius in math, game theory, and economics, Nash suffered years with schizophrenia. Nash was born in the small town of Bluefield, WV on June 13, 1928. After owning a summer home in Bluefield for ten years, I can distinctly recall seeing his birthplace, as it was noted by a historical plaque placed outside the front door. May John & Alicia Nash Rest in Peace!
