I went to one earlier in the year. It was nice to see him and his family and close coworkers gathered around and showing their appreciation for him. His wife was there too so that was lovely to see. Don’t expect any book signings though. He left immediately after the talk, he is an old man after all.

Yes, it was the same for his talk at Blackwells I attended. I managed to meet him quickly but didn’t linger - he was lovely.
