Abstract
This is a somewhat non-standard piece about Dexter Kozen, longtime colleague and friend. I am sure that the praise of Dexter’s research will have been sung by many of the people contributing to this volume. I could probably have added my own perspective, talking at length about the enormous impact of his most profound work. For example, the wonderful paper on alternation influenced my work on seemingly unrelated topics years later, in many unexpected ways.
