I first came across Bruce Francis's work while reading his internal model principle paper [1] as an assistant professor at the University of Southern California. This demonstrated a very mature level of problem formulation together with very clear and precise results. When I moved to Cambridge in 1976, I was delighted to hear that Bruce would be a visiting postdoc for that academic year. At some point, Bruce suggested we look at the problem of bounded peaking, and we discussed it a bit. However, he did all of the heavy lifting but nevertheless generously included me as a coauthor [2]. This heavy lifting even became physical when he and Ian Postlethwaite helped my family move into the house where we have remained ever since.
