Abstract

“Around 1970 I met Lotfi for the first time — young, innocent, and as completely unknown as I was. When I reached his office, there was a note for me, ‘Sorry, forgot my birthday. Please meet me at (some Bay-Shore restaurant)’. Meeting him at his birthday party I was even more impressed by him than by the amount of shrimps I was able to swallow. He has always been that way, open to new ideas and people, helpful in the extreme, and a human in the best sense of the word. Thank you Lotfi, and thank you Fay for maintaining him so well.”
