After-Dinner Speech in Honour of Lodewijk Woltjer

Abstract.

I accepted the invitation to speak on this occasion with great pleasure, since it gives me a chance to express my respect, admiration and also my gratitude for our longstanding, truthful connection for Lo Woltjer in front of a large and very competent audience. But I must confess that I am also somewhat hesitant, since Lo Woltjer is certainly not a very simple person. There are many facets of him which should be brought up in such a talk.
