Have you ever met someone and known immediately they were brilliant, a complete gentleman, and giving his full attention to you? I had the honor to meeting Frederik Pohl once and that's really the only way to describe it.
Well said-- "giving his full attention to you." I knew I left out an important point in my comment about meeting Mr. Pohl, and that covers it. I was a 20 yr old who knew close to nothing & had delusions of being a great SF writer one day, but Mr. Pohl treated me as if I were completely sane. He was definitely one of a kind.As you said, a complete gentleman, in the very best meaning of the word.
