Bert Vallee: Bon Vivant

Bert Vallee liked fine cuisine, fine wines and funny jokes.  Here he  is remembered as someone who loved to entertain his friends, regularly taking them to the best restaurants and surprising them by arranging for scientific meetings in unusual settings. But we also hear that there was often a dual purpose to the enjoyment of the gourmet meals.
