The Institut and guests in 2002. The Institut hosted a celebration for Helmut’s 60th birthday in the summer of 2002. The day included seminars by several former members of the Institut (e.g., Regina Brigelius-Flohé and Enrique Cadenas are in the photo). Helmut and his wife, Nancy are in the middle and their children can be seen in the background. I (right circle) visited for the celebration and to see my friend, Lars-Oliver Klotz (middle circle). My future wife, Juliane Beier (left circle), was also present … although we didn’t know each other at that time.
