Some colleagues and friends organized a birthday Fest meeting, held in Manhattan, Kansas, on September 19 and 20.

There were some presentations:


and some free food in the first evening:


Here is a photo of my friends and me on the second morning:


and one more, of my thesis supervisor, me, and my students from long ago:

I was given a Festschrift volume, which everyone signed,...

...and some stuff (thanks, everyone!).

Everyone had a nice time, and they let me end the meeting with a talk:

and afterwards there were some songs.

I guess I am an old guy now.
