I'd only met him once,\nunder very unfavorable conditions, but that wasn't even the point;\nhe was as much a father-figure to me as my real father. He taught\nme how to think for myself, how to get the facts and draw conclusions.\nI rarely drew the same conclusions as him, but the process was so\nimportant that I regard him as my greatest teacher.\n\nOne hundred years. Wow.\n\nAnyone for a party on 1/2/20?"
