Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it -every, every minute?
-Emily, from Our Town by Thornton Wilder
Dear fellow members of the Greater Louisville Medical
Society,
Time flies.
I have always loved the hourglass as a metaphor
for life - how each grain of falling sand represents
a precious moment we can never get back. For my
tenure as president of the Greater Louisville Medical
Society, the last grains of time are now falling. I have
truly enjoyed every one.
I did not want to one day look back, like Thorton Wilder’s Emily, with the
realization that I hadn’t appreciated this amazing experience at the time
it was happening. Serving as president of this dynamic organization has
invigorated me personally and professionally. Being allowed to serve as a
leader among Greater Louisville’s revered medical community is the greatest
professional honor I have ever been afforded.
I could fill this entire issue of Louisville Medicine extolling the virtues of our
medical society and praisin
