To Norman Saunders
What can I say about an icon- British to boot!!!
Dr Saunders as we know him is true icon in the field of neuroscience- really- lol
I first crossed paths with the good doctor when I wanted to use a very important model of CNS injury. Where the hind limb development occurs ex utero. Banana flavor was the key- it was then I knew I admired this scientist that I would later become close friends despite an 80 yr age difference!
I remember Kate his better half–(by a long shot). I remember New Orleans and tackling the hand Grenade manikin at neuroscience- and drinking a few also.
I remember a tumultuous ferry to Hobart eating Sydney Rock Oysters along the way- I remember the beauty of Hobart- not Norman- lol
What reconciles most with me is a true friend- concerned when needed, a true gift of life- though I still like Kate better!!!
I recall an incredible hospitality, which I am sure Kate is responsible
Did I mention Kate?
I love you my brother and I would not be a friend unless I admitted that your humility is Kate engendered- lol
Indefatigably yours,
Johnny
Best,
