Speakers at the Banquet: 
Dean James Fonseca (Ohio U.at Zanesville), official welcome, S. K. Jain about Barbara’s & my contributions to math, and to him personally, Victor Camillo extolled my zaniness at Rutgers U. back in 1966-1970. Patrick Smithrecalled a telling remark I made to him at the Exeter conference in 1983 organized by Peter Vamos, “Patrick, you are more like our student than Alfred Goldie (his Ph.D. adviser!) is!"

Then Patrick roasted Barbara by having her star in a bizarre movie scenario dressed in black leather & riding a motor cycle on mountain curves, and Peter Vamos roasted me for a series of letters to him addressed variously as Peter, Paul, and Freddy! (The fact that it was true only increased its hilarity!) I didn’t have the wit to tell them that I called a freshman student at Penn State U. back in 1958 by the wrong name—he didn’t correct me because hedisliked his given name, Beauregard. So now everybody calls him Dick!
