It’s a personal delight, and privilege, for me to be able to introduce the STEM CELLS audience once more to the remarkable wit, and wisdom, of Dr. Marshall A. Lichtman.

As Curt Civin and I recently reminded our readers, Marshall was one of the "Founding Fathers" of STEM CELLS. It was his idea, among others, to include a "Concise Reviews" section in the journal and it has proven to be one of its most successful features as judged by download activity from our Web site.

! ^, h. K8 \3 i/ H1 Q( zMarshall is truly one of the giants of modern hematology. A prodigious intellect with a wide variety of interests, he has authored well in excess of 230 research articles dealing with virtually every hematopoietic lineage (so we have to love him at STEM CELLS!), as well as the origins of clonal myeloid malignancies. Career benchmarks include serving as Dean of the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry (where he is still Professor of Medicine, Biochemistry and Biophysics), the Board of Governors of the American Red Cross, and one of the highest honors in the world of hematology, being elected President of the American Society of Hematology.

I came to know Marshall personally as a result of my association with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, where Marshall also serves as its Executive Vice President for Research and Medical Programs. During my tenure as Chair of the Society’s Medical and Scientific Affairs Committee, Marshall was a constant source of support, inspiration, and the most helpful commodity of all, good advice served up with a sense of humor.3 t.

7 c6 c6 @5 o+ l. o5 yThe little ditty we publish is an excellent example of this. So what does one call a scholar who is a real gentleman in the truest sense of the word? If one is lucky, as I am, "Friend" is the word that rises to the top. We at STEM CELLS are proud of this friendship and Marshall’s many contributions to the field and to the journal.(Alan M.
