Abstract

Paul Halmos came to Michigan in the Fall of 1961, while I arrived a year later. He resigned his position at Michigan going to Indiana in 1969, the same year I moved to Stony Brook. Several years later we met at a colloquium he gave at the Belfer Graduate School at Yeshiva before the bean counters closed it down. Upon Leon Ehrenpreis’s proffered introduction of me to Paul, Paul remarked, “Do I know Ron Douglas? Why I invented him! ”While an obvious exaggeration, the statement contained a good deal of truth reflecting what had happened during our “Michigan years.”
