Abstract
Towards the end of his remarkable career, Gunnar Källén became very interested in phenomenology and, in particular, in the radiative corrections to beta-decay, a subject in which I have worked for a long time. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the 1968 winter school in Schladming, Austria. In that occasion I gave a talk describing some important developments that took place in 1966–67 and he gave a summary talk, where he referred to my presentation as well as other contributions. We had very nice and cordial conversations. I was shocked and greatly saddened by the news of his untimely death. What a loss for physics and for all of those that were close to him!
