I would like to express my gratitude to Wonpil Im, Nilesh Banavali, and Yun Luo and all the contributors for this Special Issue of the Journal of Computational Chemistry in celebration of my 60 th birthday. To put it simply, I am very touched by the numerous contributions, and frankly humbled by the scope of the research presented here. Over the years, I had the pleasure and the good chance to cross path with many of these authors, students, postdocs, collaborators, getting a slice of the world as I was working with wonderfully bright people from all continents. The more I think about this journey, and as Jacques Brel would put it, “Mes souvenir deviennent, ce que les vieux en font…” (Les Marquises 1977), good chance is certainly an undeniably important factor. Clearly, good chance was involved in meeting Rémy Sauvé who introduced me to the fascinating world of patch clamp and single channel recordings, Dennis Salahub who conveyed his passion for quantum chemistry, Martin Zuckermann who communicated his enthusiasm for statistical mechanics, and finally Martin Karplus my Ph.D. thesis advisor who will always be a constant inspiration. Let there be many more years of research and scientific investigations!
