After all when we met for
the first time in a hotel in Toronto...
:07:57
after having talked at length
several times over the phone...
:08:01
or having written
to make our first appointment--
:08:04
l met him the temperature was
ninety degrees it was very warm--
:08:07
He was wearing a coat a hat
scarves and gloves--
:08:11
A seemingly extravagant getup...
:08:13
which in fact corresponded
exactly to the protection he needed...
:08:17
against the outside world to protect
himself from what finally killed him--
:08:21
Problems of germs
and blood pressure--
:08:26
So let us say that the first vision...
:08:29
one would have of such a person
was very surprising.
:08:32
You could not avoid being surprised at
the sight of someone resembling a tramp.
:08:37
But he walked into the hotel room
and stayed 1 8 hours straight.
:08:44
No outside worry
food or anything...
:08:48
interrupted the rapport
we were establishing.
:08:52
The other striking thing
was his sense of humor...
:08:55
his extraordinary ability to have fun
and offer ideas stimulating...
