I started as a graduate student of Pat Cahill and ended up as friend when I graduated. I would visit him at his lab and he would come and visit Gordon Monahan and I at North Shore.

Pat and I used to get together about once a month to drink beer and eat french fries or pot stickers and talk about the science of nuclear medicine. It was a most enjoyable time.

I hope Linda and Patrick are able to live healthy lives and always keep fond memories of Pat just and I do.
