Abstract

This article provides a few of my enduring recollections of Professor Ronald H. Coase (1910–2013). Part of the paper uses the medium of poetry to communicate my emotions and reactions on first meeting Coase at a conference in 1991, and at another conference in 1997; the poem includes an Epilogue, written shortly after I heard the sad news of Coase’s passing on September 2, 2013. The rest of the paper contains my recollections of a very surreal episode I shared with Ronald Coase in 1994, while both of us were crossing the Midway on the campus of the University of Chicago.
