Abstract

Bob Hofstadter gave a very complete description of the work that Felix had done in many different areas. I would like to touch only on those areas which are connected with superconductivity, and of these, those areas in which I have had personal contact with Felix. This, I hope, will give you a different view of working with Felix, and a view of the kind of interaction that a colleague could have had with him.
