Abstract

This letter gives a description of my interactions with Herman over more than 30 years. His teaching, his tremendous insight in subjects newly presented to him, his generousness, his playful interactions with colleagues and students, the freedom in research direction that he allowed and also expected from his PhD students.

Keywords: Dielectric relaxation; Molecular dynamics; NMR relaxation dispersion; Water-solute interactions.
