ENDEAVOR TO BE WHAT YOU DESIRE TO APPEAR

摘要

First of all, I wish to express my deeply felt appreciation to all those colleagues who were kind enough to nominate and vote for me for this Distinguished Service Award. Experience tells me that it takes many persons to gain a good reputation, but, if you are unlucky, only one to destroy it. I also know that we sometimes flatter ourselves of our accomplishments, but must confess that they are often not the result of a great design, but simply the result of chance, as well as the result of assistance given by many others. For that I say thanks again. Here in the United States, I feel certain to have received more good than f was able to give back. Foremost, the association with SWST has been very enjoyable and rewarding.
