Kristian Fauchald was the first person I met at my first international 
polychaetological conference at Copenhagen, in 1986. I was young, I was 
shy, I felt as a bird out of the nest. I did not know who was that 
bearded guy, with a strange accent, who came to me, said hello and shook 
hands. And then he introduced himself in the nicest way of the world, to 
my utter amazement. I have not recovered from the shock as yet.  Thanks 
for everything, Kristian.
