On April 1, 1992, Otto Creutzfeldt would have celebrated his 65th
birthday. About a year before, those of us who worked with him in
the Department of Neurobiology decided to organize a meeting to
honour Otto and his contri butions to neuroscience. Since Otto
Creutzfeldt had no intention of retiring before his 67th birthday,
this was not to be a "retirement conference" but a celebration on
the occasion of a major anniversary. However. events turned out
differently. In the spring of 1991, Otto Creutzfeldt became
seriously ill, before we could consult with him on his suggestions
for such a meeting, and we decided to postpone further dis cussion
until his health improved. In the summer, when we talked to him
about the meeting, he basically approved of the idea but
immediately sug gested our turning it into a proper scientific
congress, rather than limiting ourselves to inviting his friends
and former co-workers. He had very good friends in many parts of
the world and would certainly have liked to see many of them again.
However, his interest in science remained the domi nant factor. He
proposed the main topics for the conference and suggested several
speakers to be invited. Although he knew that his health was crit
ical and that his condition could rapidly worsen, we had the
feeling that the planning gave him hope and perhaps an opportunity
to look forward."
