We have a rich legacy of great names that I have read and heard from over the years. All of us are imprinted by those that who saw our gaps in our novice days and gently filled them in, almost like a parent or older sibling. People like John Clough, a CCF emeritus, who could deliver the most complex science of our day so effectively that those of us in the incredibly average category could get it. The legendary names that have arisen from your solicitation should give our industry pride. Let me add to that the contemporaries, like you Jack, and Len Calabrese, who have nurtured so many of us here and abroad, not only through mentorship, but by embracing modern media to help us keep up. At CCF, Len has capably cultivated a generation of rational rheumatologists with clinical cognitive skills that have served us well throughout a career of change. It's privilege to serve in the ranks.
