Abstract
As a student in 1978 I followed a course on Operator Theory at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam. The professor who gave the course was Rien Kaashoek (although we as students did not dare to address him as Rien, nor even spoke about him as Rien). At some point during the course professor Kaashoek announced that the following week, and the weeks after that, the lectures would be given by a professor Gohberg, who was visiting. He would lecture on Toeplitz operators. The combination of these two teachers hooked me on operator theory, and I decided to try, if I could, to do a PhD under their supervision.
