This small piece of writing is my personal account of how I met Ken Plummer and of the impact he had on my academic career. I describe the way in which our relationship changed from teacher and student to lifelong friends, and also share my last encounter with him. In retrospect, I am proud to say that Ken was not just my PhD supervisor, but also my colleague, my mentor, my substitute father and my dear friend.
