Dr. Lawrence Mark Lichtenstein

I was in Dr. Lichtenstein and Dr. Norman's post doctoral allergy program from 1971-1973, the third such class, I believe. I had several publications as co-author to Dr. Lichtenstein and a continuing relationship as a faculty member, till the present time. I was participant and witness to the evolution and fruition of the Division of Allergy and Clinical Immunology at Hopkins under the stewardship of Dr. Lichtenstein and others. Myself and so many many others now carry forward Larry's...

I am so sorry to learn about Larry's passing. I know that he was Susan MacDonald's friend and mentor and if she were alive she would join me in my sorrow!!!

I do remember Larry and Carolyn from my days At University of Chicago. They were wonderful brilliant loving kind people.

(I did my postdoc in the lab of Bob Schleimer - after getting encouragement from Larry to leave my faculty position at JHU to train-up in research techniques. The years spent at JHAAC...

The Texas Allergy Society advised us of the death of Dr Lichtenstein. Though I did not have the opportunity to learn at his side, yet his body of work, his dedication to his patients and to the training of physicians and especially of allergists is greatly admired and appreciated. His gifts will continue to bear fruit in the form of advances in both the art and science of medicine.
