He wold bring a bottle of Bolinger to our seminars, announce: "the doctor says I'm on a liquid only diet" and proceed to drink the entrie bottle throughout the course of the seminar! Predictably, discussion always went off on a tangent, but I can honestly say, I learned more from him and his unique persepctive than I ever did from the more prescriptive seminars. I was so saddened to hear of his sudden death, which ironincally occured on my wedding anniversary. Archie, it was an honour to know you and without your input I doubt my novel would have been half as good as it is. Thank you.
