Abstract
Vitaly L. Ginzburg has contributed in many areas of physics. One of these is the field of high-temperature superconductivity (HTSC). I have benefited from his insight in this field and have enjoyed his friendship and support over a period of almost 40 years. I present some personal reminiscences of these interactions and discuss recent progress towards the understanding of the mechanism responsible for the superconductivity of the high T c cuprate superconductors, its relation to our earlier work, and what lies ahead.
