Abstract
Some recollections of Victor Katsnelson and how he came to join the Department of Mathematics of the Weizmann Institute. I knew his name because Professor Tsuyoshi Ando of Hokkaido University had very generously translated and distributed a number of papers on themes connected with the work of the Potapov school from Russian to English, and one of these was a 150 page monograph by Victor: Methods of J-theory in continuous interpolation problems of analysis, Part I. Consequently I was very much in favor of this visit, and managed to arrange support for a 1 month visit. The logistics turned out to be somewhat complicated. This was still in the early days of Perestroika and there were no direct flights between Ukraine and Israel.
To Victor on the occasion of his seventy fifth birthday with best wishes
