SUMMARY
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the first microscopy conference with which Walter McCrone was concerned. To mark the event, the 2008 ‘Evening with Brian’ took the form of a cruise on Lake Michigan during which Brian J. Ford gave an account of the past sixty years. In his illustrated lecture, Brian recounted the history of the conferences from a personal perspective and, with a series of video inserts, reminded delegates of times past. This paper is based on that presentation and sets out Brian’s account of a unique series of meetings.
