I once saw him at an event, in a partially hidden area. I asked what he was doing, and why he was there. He replied that the scorers had made an error, and that he knew how to solve it, but he wanted to give his team plenty of time to solve the problem without his help, so they'd learn for themselves. By being out of vision, he thought that they'd feel more comfortable about discussing the matter amongst themselves and trying to figure it out.He was right.Another time I had heard of a special form of scoring that both partnerships in a team sat in the same direction, and the best of their scores counted (the worst is ignored for their side). I wanted to run an event like this, so I wrote to him, and he was really helpful and encouraging, he worked out the movement and told us all what was best. The event was really good fun, and we were all hugely appreciative of his advice.These are just two small anecdotes to illustrate to his kindness, generosity and wisdom.
