Abstract
I am somewhat amazed by the fact that I am now seventy years old and am expected to take my place among the senior citizens of the mathematical community. The fact is that I do not feel like an elder citizen and am still somewhat shy in the company of my betters. Nevertheless I have been a mathematician for over forty years and some recollections of my early experiences may therefore be of interest.
