Re: Harold Simmons

Harold Simmons was around at most of the PSSLs I started to attend in the second half of the 80s. As a middle European person I was deeply impressed by his sense of humour and having a sarcastic attitude to everything without being cynical. Only later I learned that he set some trends like provability logic or locale theory well before my time. One would have heard this from him directly. I think he was a paradigm in not following fashions and sticking to his interests. How different from what is predominant nowadays. It's sad that one can't meet him again (and go for a `snifter' as he would have put it). Thomas [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
