a) Lucid compiler team status meetings. While I was plodding along on my one little area, I could tell he was dealing comfortably and quickly with issues, both high-level and low-level, of all kinds.

b) Thru seeing him often with Jan. So although I knew Leonard was technically outstanding, I was more impressed that he was close to Jan, since I assumed anyone close to Jan must be very special.

So, unlike many people who knew Leonard as a software and business wizard, I'll remember him, despite his subsequent great technical and business sucesses, as being special enough to have been Jan's good friend. Other software people and other business people may get busy and forget, but to be remembered well by a good friend may be the closest thing to immortality.
