And he'd make time for the pushcart bread man, the woman who brews coffee in that little cafe, or anyone else who happened by the town square to chat. Things didn't exactly work out that way. Born in Kashmir and raised in London, hass moved first ot the northeastern United States and later to Denver. But he never lost sight of the drea, especially the idea of a town square where people could meet, shop, chat, and think in a fresh, inviting environment.
