note = "Funding Information: I first met Harry in 2008, at the PhD defense of Anca Hanea in Delft, and I was very intimidated by his knowledge of copulas. At the time, I was just beginning to get a good grasp of this area. I was very happy to visit him in Vancouver in 2010. We started thinking about spatial dependence, but we could only make significant progress later, using the local composite approach of Erhardt et al. [15]. Harry came to Munich as a John von Neumann Gastprofessor and participated in the 2011 vine workshop. I was glad that he liked our environment. At the time, we also met with my postdoc Anastasios Panagiotelis to discuss pair copula constructions for discrete random variables. We continued to meet at vine copula workshops and he came to Munich on several other occasions. I guess since we are both interested in vines but from quite different angles (he more theoretical and I more applied), we always have things to discuss. Recently, I was even able to secure a Mercator Fellowship from the German Science Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft or DFG) to get Harry to come to Munich to work with us on statistical learning with vines. You mentioned various conferences that fuelled the work on vines. What were they?",
