Fantastic! I do so envy you! I would have loved to have met him. The closest I ever came was when I went to hear him at a speech he gave in my area. He was every bit as engaging in his talk as he was in his works. I considered asking him a question during the Q & A afterward, but -- as can well be imagined -- the line for the microphone was ridiculously long.

He was certainly one of the greats, in more ways than one.
