Abstract
This is an account of several years in the study of conversation analysis with Harvey Sacks at UC Irvine. In the late sixties and early seventies Sacks provided a series of lectures, research reports, and a methodology detailing how ordinary conversations could be recorded, transcribed, and studied. As the founder of the field Sacks brought us closer to the ideal of sociology as a science. During several years of study with the gentleman I discovered a remarkable intellect and an interesting person that I attempt to describe through a chronology of his progression of thought, relationship to ethnomethodology, and published and unpublished research results. Included are some personal experiences and reflections that I hope provide a better understanding of the man as well as his academic direction.
