A chance meeting with Eldryd in the LSHTM bike shed changed my career and life. He quietly 'made enquiries' at Addis Ababa University, and a few months later I started an honorary position there. A few months later he set me on EW Price's podoconiosis trail. Ten years later he enquired if we knew his 'square root' law? - it takes the square root of the time you have spent in another country to being to get used to living in your country of origin. So many wise words, so gently delivered. I will miss him hugely and join with so many others round the world to send his family condolences.
