I dedicate these reminiscences to Jaroslav Sterzl on the report of his death just prior to his 87th birthday. What follows was originally published (Silverstein, 1995) on the occasion of Sterzl's 70th birthday.
I was honored in 1985 to be invited by the Czechoslovak Immunological Society to help celebrate Jaroslav's 60th birthday at their meeting in Marianske Lazne. In the 1985 issue of Folia Microbiologica, dedicated to Sterzl, I wrote a short paper on "Immunology in Prague: Critical Contributions to a Biological Revolution" (Silverstein, 1985). In it, I reviewed some of Sterzl's important contributions to the transition of immunology from chemical to more biological interests. Now, 10 years later and deeply immersed in the history of immunology, I have come to appreciate Sterzl's contributions even more, both scientifically and organizationally. Having known him as colleague, collaborator, and friend for over 30 years, I feel competent to speak to his accomplishments.
