I was lucky enough to attend a lecture given by Dr. Sacks circa 1988. He was a resident speaker for the University of California campuses and had come to UCSC to talk about Awakenings and other topics. He was such a sensitive, kind, gentle person.
It was a privilege to simply be in the audience and the audience was very small. For some reason students didn't take advantage of the opportunity, right in front of them, to come and see him speak. Baffling.
When I saw him, he was in his mid-fifties and the picture of an English academic doctor/professor. It is a kick to see what he looked like in 1961. That BMW he's sitting on is a classic.
The world lost a very special person when he died in 2015.
