- W1997505647 abstract "Good morning. I would like to thank the association for the privilege and honor of serving as your 55th president this year. I have read all of the previous presidential addresses, and a common theme was the speakers using terms such as dread, burdened, and trepidation. This year I felt quite presidential for a while, and then realized I had the responsibility of coming up with an address and did not feel quite so presidential anymore. I do have the distinction of being the oldest to ever serve as your president. In addition, I am a PowerPoint virgin! It is an honor to be able to do this in conjunction with the 125th anniversary of the Grand Hotel where we have met and enjoyed a rich relationship since 1972. My introduction to the Midwest Surgical was as a resident at the University of Iowa in the mid-1970s. Every August or September, I would overhear several of my attendings, Drs Printen, Baker, Boyd, and Soper, all past presidents by the way, talk about what a great time they had at the recent meeting. So, I decided to become a member when I finished my training, which was a vascular fellowship at St John Hospital in Detroit. I came there for only 1 year intending to go back to the Midwest and do general and vascular surgery. My experience was so fantastic that I ended up staying and doing just vascular surgery. My 1 year has lasted 35 years, and now it has grown into a medical center! I would like to thank and pay tribute to the following people: my parents for providing me with my upbringing and education, especially my father who was a college professor, a department chairman, and my dean in college; the president of my university, Dr Emory Lindquist, who was a lifelong family friend and mentor; my chief resident and mentor in the surgical research laboratory as a medical student at the University of Kansas; Dr Arlo Hermreck for inspiring and confirming my decision to pursue a career in surgery; Dr Joe Grady, the Chief of General and Vascular Surgery and Director of the Vascular Fellowship at St John for many years, and also trained Drs Lloyd and Schroder, both past presidents as well; and Drs Cirocco, Hawasli, and Edhayan, among others. Dr Grady was the most influential person in my career. Finally, and most importantly, I would like to acknowledge my family—my wife Mary and my son Jonathan and his wife Jessica who are here today. Our daughter Christine died in 2008 but is with us in our memories. She always loved coming to this meeting. My wife, in particular, has been supportive over those many years of single parenting as a surgeon's wife. In deciding on a topic for this address, I decided to talk about 2 of my favorite things: surgery and sailing. When I am not in the hospital doing what a surgeon loves, operating, I like to be on my sailboat. I am fortunate to have my home, marina, and hospital all within about a mile of Lake St Clair, a 430–square mile lake. My sailboat is a 34-foot Pacific Seacraft cutter rigged sloop named the VASCUDOC. One cannot talk about sailing without mentioning the America's Cup. My favorite presidential address is by Dr John Bergan, a Chicago vascular surgeon and frequent Chicago-Mackinac sailor. His address to the Society for Vascular Surgery, “There Is No Second,” compared vascular surgery and yacht racing. “There Is No Second” referred to Queen Victoria watching the precursor to the first America's Cup race from her yacht. “Who is first?” Queen Victoria asked when only 1 solitary boat could be seen on the horizon coming to the finish. “The America,” replied her attendant. “Then who is second?” the Queen asked. “Your Majesty,” came the reply, “there is no second.” The America's Cup race has no second place." @default.
