Abstract
Professor David Ames, the editor-in-chief of International Psychogeriatrics, has kindly asked some of us who edited the journal at one time or another to write a personal piece. I was asked because I edited the journal longer than anyone else – from 1996 to 2003. I decided in 2003 that I would give up my editorship and my National Health Service (U.K.) consultant's post. It also coincided with my 65th birthday, which was declared by von Bismarck, the nineteenth-century Chancellor of Germany, to be the age of retirement when a pension would be received. The decision was not meant by me to be taken too seriously but it was convenient. My record will not last of course, since David Ames will have completed two terms, which will finish in 2011. The job is like that of the U.S. President, namely, two terms only!
