As UT Health’s 50th Anniversary Celebration approaches, I have thought more and more of how my experience covers almost the entire history.   

Once again, your kind remarks are generous.  At such times, I am always reminded of the words of Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield which begins with:   “Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.”

As I read your words, I sometimes feel that I am reading the life of another as I genuinely feel unworthy of such effusive praise.  I know that in my heart I want your words to be true and I have desired to live a life worthy of such words, but I can’t help but feel like an imposter.

My words about you are inadequate to express my admiration of who and what you are.  And, of course, Mary is like the icing on the cake - the best part.

Carolyn and I look forward to seeing you in September.

Larry
