Come as you are.  To quote a comment from one of the many people we've heard from lately whose lives Fred touched, "I expected a suit, but he met me after a 'board meeting' in Del Mar in a hat and surf shorts."  Obviously formality was not a requirement for Fred.

Please feel free to post your memories of Fred here to share.
