Well, sort-of, but not like you might think.

I heard about Tich? from a friend who was also a photographer and travelled
from Prague to Kyjov to try to interview him.  I found him very easily - it
seemed that everyone in the village knew about him and where he lived.  He
showed me around Kyjov for most of a day.  I bought him lunch and an ice
cream, and singularly failed to get him to make a _single_ comment about
photography, photographs or anything relevant to visual observation.  He
also refused to let me photograph him.  He did, however, have a lot to say
about ice cream and the relative merits of different kinds.

As I left he thanked me, very graciously, for coming.

Marty
