I remember the first night I went to a NCRA meeting in 1990 as an SF State undergrad after an Economics class had gotten cancelled and after they let me in I remember seeing Bernie from the other side of the room and how he came off as a very balanced person and one who held himself well in any discussion. Very good man to know.
