I just learnt of the passing of Pierre Cartier last Saturday. I was lucky to attend his George Kempf Lecture at Johns Hopkins a decade ago titled "A quantum group as Galois group for some difference equations". I don't remember much about it which probably means I understood little, but I remember fondly going for dinner later and sitting close to him. He was an entertaining person, treat everyone as his equals (in spite of me being a minion and him being a legend) and told some Bourbaki stories
