One of the many reasons I wanted to be a member of this Association was the knowledge and courteous sharing of that knowledge that I discovered within its ranks. Dean has been so much a part of this sharing of knowledge -- and one of the most positive, kind and courteous of our colleagues. Thanks to Dean for his many contributions, and also for his positive spirit that not only has guided our wonderful publication, but also has set such a good example for us all. I look forward to his continuing presence on the Forum and within the organization.
