CONNECTIONS: STANDING ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS - Comments accompanying receipt of the 2010 SWST Distinguished Service Award

摘要

The English clergyman and poet, John Donne (1623), said "No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main . . ." and this passage is certainly applicable as I stand here today. You do me a singular honorwith this Distinguished Service Award, but it is an honor with many authors. Time and space preclude my listing the many that have helped and mentored me along the way. Suffice it to say they and you have my humble appreciation and thanks - "no man is an island."
