Never saw the guy face to face, just read his books. Thought when I'll go to US will meet him, sit for his lectures. Don't think it will happen now. :(

Going to the US to meet him or sit in his lectures was never going to be a winning strategy ;)

Well, prior to ~1971, going to the US to meet him could have worked. :)
