Dr. Eric Vogt - November 12, 1929 - February 19, 2014.
Dr. Eric Vogt and I played a game at Early
Music Vancouver concerts at the Chan which he attended with regularity. When I
spotted this large friendly grizzly-bear-of-a-man I would loudly ask him this
sort of a question:
How are the charms?
He would answer:
They are accelerating as we speak.
Or my question might be:
How are those neutrinos doing?
His usual answer:
They are going through me this instant.
People around him would look at him and
then at me stupefied. Dr. Vogt never smiled. It was our private
joke.
