Utmost Respect
I slept in the next bedspace to Oz in Bastion some years back. He was the appropriate mix of "mad as a bag of frogs" and "consummate professional". He made the tent plenty of fun, yet earned the highest level of respect.
I was gutted when I heard the sad news, "Olaf Schmid" isn't a name you forget quickly (although it did take me a moment to recognise him in that shaggy-haired photo, he was shaved bald back then!) and this award is well deserved.
