Ernie LePore (Rutgers) organized an interesting and often very evocative set of recollections here, including comments from Crispin Wright, Timothy Williamson, Hilary Putnam, Tim Crane, Ian Rumfitt, Jason Stanley, and others. I was particularly struck by this comment by Jason:
My first job, in 1995, was as a stipendiary lecturer in Oxford, a position in the Oxford academic hierarchy just a bit lower than assistant janitor. Dummett was nevertheless extremely generous with his time. Some people kiss up and kick down; Dummett was someone who kicked up and kissed down.
