Hugh was one of the most important influences in my life. Back in 1968, still working on my PhD, I submitted a short 10page paper to the BJPS \u2013 Hugh the editor sent it back saying not good enough but go and look at some of these references \u2013 I did and a month later resubmitted a now 30 page paper \u2013 Hugh wrote back and said \u201cnot there yet but getting there\u201d — he accepted my final version and it was published and I was on my way! I have always looked back on that paper with pride \u2013 more, I learnt so much about how senior people in the field have an obligation to reach out to junior people \u2013 I learnt to be a philosopher over the next ten years \u2013 and I have always tried to emulate Hugh — I was editor for 15 years of the journal I founded, Biology and Philosophy, and there was never an issue when I did not try to follow in Hugh\u2019s footsteps \u2013 I revere his memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
