At the MG-XV conference in Portugal 2016, the International Steering Committee made the decision to hold the MG-XVI conference in Japan in 2018 to include a celebration of the 100th birthday of Max Fowler. Max gave the first paper of the first Megagauss conference in 1965, and became a central figure when the conference became a recurring series of meetings in 1979. Max attended every conference until he passed away in 2006, and his wife, Janet, also became a conference essential. This paper recounts the talk given from the American perspective during the celebration, and a paper by Gennady Shvetsov recounts the celebration from the Russian perspective.
