At an electronics shop downtown where he worked. I needed a transformer for a stereo amp that I had brought back with me from Europe and he was the one guy after numerous attempts at multiple shops who immediately understood what I needed. I remember him as rather shy and helpful. I realized it was him after he was arrested up when the shop was mentioned in the papers and the fact that he had attended boarding school in Switzerland for awhile when he was a kid, so my Euro-electrical issue was no mystery to him.
