Greetings on a lovely late summer weekend.
My workweek ended on a sad note when we had to drive up to Philadelphia for the funeral of an old friend who had lived an ordinary, yet remarkable, life.
He lived for 86 years and was the beloved patriarch of his family and genuinely loved man by his legions of admirers. He was a man of extraordinary grace and perspective. I believe his caring temperament was forged by the experience of living in an iron lung for a year after he contracted polio as a boy. Miraculously he recovered, though he progressively weakened over the last few years of his life.
Every time I think of him a smile crosses my lips. Rest easy, Harry.
Our annual External Advisory Committee meeting is on Monday, so I am keeping my blog short and sweet this week. I am still practicing my presentation!
Stay safe and be well.
Lou
