Hi Jack, I have loved reading your last two blogs about the greatest rheumatologist. I think we would be remiss by not adding another great and important name and a great woman as well, Dr. Naomi Rothfied. She not only trained me but literally dozens of other rheumatologists. Her training was, of course, at NYU with truly someof the " greats" but she also created one of the best training programs in the country at the University of Connecticut. When I was there way back in 1979- 1981 we had 3 future program heads there at the same time, Dr. Robert Zurier, Dr. Arthur Weinstein, and Dr. Joseph Korn. I know each of us have had a special rheumatologist in mind when asked and the list is impressive, but I did not want to leave this page without acknowledging Naomi's name. Dr. Alan Fischman
