Renee, Histonetters,

Thank you for your expressions  Renee.  I also apologize for my anger and
lack of tact in expressing it.

Yesterday's Memorial and Celebration of Dr. Haggitt are indescribable by me.
Perfect, is one word that comes to mind.  It was video taped and will be on
the Pathology Website later today, baring any delays of a technical matter.
I'll post the site after it is completed, should anyone want to view it.
You will find some staggering statistics quoted by the Chairman of
Pathology, Dr. Nelson Fausto which has added fuel to my newly found cause.

Don Hammer, Retired Guy
