Hi Abe! This is Jim Hoerter. I use to be in your lab at UMC. I decided to retire after 40 years of research and teaching. You were an inspiration to me and very instrumental in helping me to develop my skills as a scientist and grant writer. I strived to develop a UVA-inducible model of melanoma but never achieved it. It was sure a lot of fun trying. I have such fond memories of the times in your lab and your patient mentoring. All those inactivation curves and protein gels! Thank you! You are a great scientist and friend.
Abe:
Happy Birthday!! You look exactly the same as when I first met you 43 years ago! I actually thought that you were pretty old then, but I now realize that you were so young. Isn’t it nice that we’ve both had wonderful careers in those 43 years! To many more! I have donated to the Cancer Center so that you can at least buy a few more petri dishes. Lou |
