Over the years, I have met some remarkable people in psychology, many of
them years, even decades, older than me (although that’s getting
harder and harder). When I had occasion to introduce them or to
speak about them, I took time to study their work and what they
stood for. I attended to what was visible about their achievement
and less visible. I tried to communicate the essence of their work
to others even if I had just a few sentences. I reprint some of
these speeches here, including sadly, some eulogies.
