Abstract

It was such a pleasure to see you last evening!!! The excitement of attending the event on a University campus reminded me of your appearance at the Ford Hall Forum in Boston and brought back my youth. In that vein, I have enclosed a reminiscence from 1974 for your enjoyment. It was also great to be able to introduce Jim, my partner, to you at the book signing. He has heard so much about you!!! Your presence, wit and charm continue to bring great pleasure to those of us who admire you and your work.
