I honestly don't remember too much about the Nolan trials, I remember parts of your write-up. It was all happening during a time when I was overloaded with work.
Several of my colleagues and peers all took an interest in Nolan and the effect that he had on people around him, aswell as how his surroundings affected him.
I haven't kept up with the Nolan-sighting thread but from time to time I consider trying to reach out to him for a conversation and consultation.
