"I never really met Yochai more than once.  He had come to Yeshiva University to speak about the MDA volunteers program, a informational meeting attended by myself and some like-minded individuals.  Our curiousity was more than satisfied by the talk he delivered.  Yet he left us all convinced that MDA had sent us some small underling, the gofer's secretary, to give us information and leave.  I now hear that such humility was characteristic of the man; and with the legacy he leaves, it is no wonder."
