For meritorious service in the Clinical Microbiology / Immunology Laboratory, UNC Hospitals, from October 10, 1966 to May 31, 2006. Your contributions at the highest level of clinical microbiology are lived out every day in those you have trained and now serve in academia, industry and health care facilities throughout the world. Your combination of knowledge, wisdom (yes, there is a difference) and teaching skills exceed your peers and are often recognized in the public forum. Most importantly, your devotion to duty and compassion for the patient reflect the high calling of public service and truly reflect your personality and your faith. The impact of your training over the years to vast numbers of medical personnel should never be underestimated. In fact the skills you helped develop in the Army officers who have trained at UNC have made a direct impact on the quality of patient care rendered to our soldiers recently deployed into harms way. There is no higher calling as a public servant.
