On A Personal Note...

As I reflect upon my past fourteen years at the MGH, I find that it has been an incredible journey. We have grown immensely as a Department and have added remarkable depth to our many programs and services. The future for the Department remains bright despite all that is happening in the external environment in Health Care. Orthopaedics is a wonderful career and a rewarding profession.

It is a delight to once again greet my adult children for the holidays and special events. Brad continues to advance his career in the US Navy. We are fortunate to have spent a wonderful Thanksgiving with him this year, having not seen him for quite some time. Steven remains on the West Coast and we are hopeful he will be able to reorient himself. It is a great pleasure to have Kristin back home after completing her college education as she prepares her applications for Business School. Kim and I always enjoy our wonderful times together both in New England, as well as at our home in Florida.
