     “I found you to be an extremely delightful person to be with and enjoyed the opportunity to have dinner with you during the 2 nd World Photovoltaic Conference in Hawaii. It is somewhat surprising how many common experiences you and I have had during our lives. The main difference I found was that you became much brighter than I at an earlier age. It took me another 20 years to understand as much about life and it's meaning than what you have already found out.

     Like me, I would also classify you as a maverick. A wild horse that will never be tamed, has his own mind on progress and how you could help your follow human being to achieve a better, safer and happier life. …..I know you will be a great success. If there is anything I can do for you in the United States, at any time, please let me know and I would be happy to help…..”
