DEDICATION
To the two men who were supposed to write this book with me. That’s
what we had planned – but death took them from us too soon. Florida
State University President Sandy D’Alemberte and Florida Rep. (and
later Sen.) Durell Peaden: Each of them played a crucial role in the
creation of the Florida State University College of Medicine. Sandy
and Durell, you were great colleagues, great men, great in stature and
accomplishments, greatly missed by everyone who knew you. Among
the many things in your legacy is this school that each year is graduating
the kinds of physicians that you wanted. Thank you so much for your
efforts and many accomplishments!
