Summary/Abstract: I first met Walter Block in 2004, during an exam at Mises University. However, it was “just” a personal meeting, which in a way cemented my acquaintance with him, as I had previously read a lot of his texts and listened to his lectures. The exam confrontation with him as one of my favorite professors is forever etched in my heart and remains one of the most wonderful experiences that I remember as if it were yesterday. Since then, I have seen him many times, during my fellowships and conferences to which he invited me. Every encounter with him was full of joy and warmth, which he exuded towards everyone around him. Our world desperately needs more Walter Blocks, it would definitely become a better one on many fronts.
