Dear Phil,
Welcome to your new world and your new life. You no longer have to be a surgical pathologist. You can be the polymath you always were. Now you can read history, or teach, or do whatever it is you feel like doing at the time.

I will never forget you. Enjoy your life and the new opportunities.
I wish you well,...
