Abstract
Dear Professor Takatsu.—I, your senior in age by more than 14 years, am entitled by virtue of seniority to send not only congratulations on a career of professional accomplishment but also assurance of the good life that follows relief from the responsibility of directing a department of pediatrics. One of the outstanding events of my professional life came when in 1965 I was permitted to participate in the International Congress of Pediatrics in Tokyo. Over a period of years, which you and I remember well, our two countries faced each other in the tragedy of war. How wonderful during this period to be a physician with a mission in life to relieve pain and suffering, not to inflict it! And how wonderful then and now to reflect that great discoveries in medical science were never shrouded by military secrecy but always distributed freely for the good of all mankind!
