Reflecting on Rota's characterization of Alonzo Church as "logic incarnate". It's shocking how much and rapidly one can learn from people in deep communion with their subject. Often without noticing what one is learning, including what is felt, what is omitted, & what is asked

Rota, I presume? I have no idea who you are, or how old, maybe it was Church, though it seems unlikely :-) (I had dinner with Rota in a Los Alamos Subway a year or so before he passed. Striking character!)

Do you have any notes from the course? Or know if any?

they definitely exist (we recorded and transcribed every lecture) but my copy is long lost alas - I hope someone has one!
