We miss him much. Every time a drink a good wine, I can see Terry's smile. A feeling of emptiness!

I remember some incredible presentations at national meetings when as a "pup" in the field, I was learning from one of the masters. As my knowledge grew and my stature, Terry remained one of the most approachable scientists in transplant immunology. But my most personal memory was that he attended my AST presidential dinner in Seattle. We had an amazing venue at the Chihuly Museum. At the end of my welcome speech and after thanking many of the Society for their guidance and support, Terry was...
