Message-ID: <E1RCskf-00068H-Nw@mlist.mta.ca> (raw)

The depth of content and clarity of presentation that we saw in 
Albrecht Dold's 1960 Columbia course had a lasting impact on 
several, including me. I well remember the generosity he showed me
in Heidelberg 1965. Myles Tierney and I will not forget 
that it was in the house of Albrecht and Yvonne in 1969
that we agreed to collaborate on the elementary theory of toposes.

There are so  many things that I still hoped to ask him.....

Bill
