I had the opportunity to see and hear Hofmann on the occasion of the LSD Symposium here in Basel, 3 years ago to honor his 100st birthday. What impressed me most was how people talked about him, not just with respect, but with deep and genuine love - I left with the impression of having met a really outstanding human being.

That you did, how fortuitous that you were there for infamous 100th.  I'll bet there are many videos available of some of those talks.

and i'll bet against any odds that he will go down in history as one of the greatest, beginning when Prohibition is lifted.  His work will be treated like Van Gogh, or Bach, or...

I've never met him, but friends of mine spent much time personally with him.  i remain in awe.
