It has been many years since Martin’s passing and many more than that since we spoke. Nonetheless, I still think of him often and cherish our conversations and laughs together. He was brilliant, kind, and thoughtful. Especially, he was wise and had a great impact on my life and that of my son, Chris. - Posted by: Don Pollock (Friend and colleague ) on: Jan 28, 2020
