Abstract
It was a privilege to be part of the research group of Manuel Cardona, one of the most influential physicists of the last decades. It was also a privilege to share his friendship for many years. Manuel had a strong influence in the development of Solid State Physics in Latin America. He organized and attended regional meetings and received a significant number of Ph.D. students, postdocs and senior researchers in Brown University and after 1971 at the MPI in Stuttgart, many of them became distinguished scientists.
