Thanks Klas. We were unlucky the night of the conference dinner, but lucky one of the nights before, when the cloud cover opened up. This was my last conference before Covid, the fond memories kept me going. Picture taken at Grøtfjorden.

Hans Reichenbach, philosopher of science and father of the common cause principle, lived nearby. He was part of the same intellectual circle as Mann, and involved in a draft declaration from which Mann withdrew his signature the next day, infuriating Brecht. 2/5
