I was privileged to meet Fred Cassidy twice - once when he visited Uvic in
the late '60s when I was a graduate student (he left us a copy of the draft
questionnaires for DARE, which I used later in my dialectology courses and
which are still in the departmental library - I hope!) and again many years
later at an ADS meeting when his presentation was scheduled at the same time
as mine. I was very cross about that, not because I had such a small audience
but because I couldn't go to hear his paper! (It had something to do with his
having to catch a plane, as I recall.)

This is truly the end of an era.
