Larry,

I read the attachment (OSR Address December 2, 1971, Addenda Election, Auditorium, Distinguished Alumnus), and enjoyed every word.   It is clear your compass has been set on truth from the start, and that, in the end, it is the wisest path to follow.   I admire the courage it took to stand up for Dr. Pannill to the Chancellor, and I appreciated hearing how meaningful your defense of him was to him.  

Your devotion to our School of Medicine and to the highest standards of professionalism began early in your career, and continues today.  The approach you have informs the actions you have taken with your practice.   SETMA reflects your values, your tireless efforts to avoid “bad medicine”.    

Your example is meaningful to everyone touched by your approach:   your patients, their families, your partners, your family, and, your alma mater.    I count myself among most fortunate to have had our paths cross.   You are an inspiration to me and to us.

With great respect, admiration and devotion,

Bill
