Ludwig was my professor and close personal friend while I was in training at the Medical University of South Carolina. I spent many enjoyable days in his office discussing many subjects besides neurosurgery. We published several papers together and he gave me a signed copy of his two volume Operative Neurosurgery . He taught me many of his techniques in neurosurgery. We went to supper together and his wife Czenta had the same birthday as my wife. They became friends as well. He had many interest and was an expert photographer, bird expert and historical expert. It was always a delight to converse with him.

I'm so sorry to hear of Dr. Kempe's passing. I've spent many hours at Diamond Brand enjoying probing his awesome knowledge of just about any subject anyone could want to know. It's such a shame that a person this brillant has to leave us, and all that vast knowledge be lost. R.I.P. Ludwig
