Abstract
One of my earliest memories of Manuel is not related to science. I don’t remember all the details but I have a vivid image in my mind of a Saturday afternoon that was very surprising for me by that time. I’m certain it was in early 1985 although I don’t remember the date. It must have been almost spring time, when it was still rather cold but most of the snow of that icy winter was gone. Manuel invited the three Catalan students in the group: Narcís Mestres, Miquel Garriga (my husband) and me, to join him and meet some people at “Casa Nostra” (which means “Our Home” in Catalan).
