In recalling my 40‐year friendship with Cliff Swartz, there are naturally a great many interesting anecdotes I could relate. But as amusing or poignant as they might be, they would tend to be rather disjointed—you could never tell what Cliff might do or think of next—without some overarching theme. Accordingly, since this is a magazine about teaching physics, I will concentrate on Cliff's teaching style and some of the many devices he used to enhance it.
