I would just like to add add a few points for the record.

1. It was Rabbi Nachman Sudak z”l the head shliach to the UK who encouraged him to go and and (this I’m not sure about) helped fund the trip. Subsequent to his trip (or even before) Rabbi Sudak ensured that he received a copy of the Rebbe’s edited weekly sicha before Shabbos. His son Rabbi Leivi Sudak head shliach in Edgware should be able to confirm details.

2. On his return he spoke at Lubavitch House in Stamford Hill London N16 to report on his trip. During the course of his speech he said I have not seen such a great Godol as the Rebbe since the Chofetz Chaim. In private conversation afterwards he said “Off the record not even the Chofetz Chaim”

3. Regarding his bar mitzvah sedra being parshas Tezaveh what was reported was slightly different to above: that when he asked the Rebbe how he knew, the Rebbe said to him that at the end of sedra it says Michoel siman.
4. Regarding different girso’ous in the gemora what was reported was that after the farbrengen some bochurim asked him why the Rebbe sometimes quotes Gomorra slightly differently each time he mentions them to which he replied that these are the different girso’ous.
