The first that comes to mind is that of the admirable account of Fred Uhlman - the found friend - and his first lines: "He entered my life in February 1932 never to get out of it `...` I can remember the day and time when, for the first time, my gaze rested on this boy who would become the source of my greatest happiness and despair."
