From what I have read he followed what seems to be the standard evening of the greeting, followed by a pronounceable guide from him—names and the like. Then he opened the floor to questions. He responded to all questions with candor and seriousness but also enjoyed the tangential, question-spawned stories.
One of my favorite parts of the evening was when a question pointed him at who he felt he most resembled and someone in the audience suggested Loial because “he was a big teddy-bear” (yes, you may surmise this was posed by a woman…). He laughed at that and said that an old girlfriend used to call him a “teddy-bear but knew that he wasn’t because she had seen the shadow of the man walking next to her and it more resembled a grizzly-bear…” He enjoyed the memory…
Never said who he felt closest to but did say, again, that it depended on who he was writing that day… He said he hated it when he came into her room and his wife would say, “You’ve been writing Padan Fain today!” Needless to say, he implied he wasn’t popular on those days!
I was also pleased to hear him say that Lan had been modeled after his father. If only we could all be that type of father!
