Re: Fwd: Harold Simmons

[Pedro Resende <pmr@math.tecnico.ulisboa.pt>]

I first met Harold Simmons at a PSSL in Cambridge (1999?) where my accommodation was a nice bed&breakfast where Peter Johnstone had placed both him and me. We spent the breakfasts talking about things that (of course) included frames and quantales, along with funny anecdotes about other ‘framers’ and ‘quantalers’. Since then I keep an indelible memory of a sharp, very kind and good humoured man.
