Frenzel Thirty years is a short time in the life of an institution or organization but it represents the major part of the productive life of an individual. When thirty years of an individual’s talents are given to the first thirty years of an organization, they are particularly meaningful as tliey tend to set the pattern and the rate of progress of the enterprise. We are esi)ecially grateful, therefore, to the over 50 staff members w’ho completed thirty years of service to the medi cal center prior to October 1 of this year. Of only slightly less impact is the service of over twenty years given by over 80 staff' members hon ored at a ceremony December 3. The contributions of these two groups will have a lasting effect upon the image of the Duke University Medical Cen ter. To those of us who have joined the medical center family more recentlj". tliese colleagues have given an ex- ami>le, a heritage, and a challenge to continue the progress for our medi cal center that they have begun so Avell. I can only pity the members of our staff whose lack of interest or whose selfish interest does not permit them the pleasure of having j>ride in the accomplishment or excitement in the future of their institution. I would like to take this opportuni ty to thank all who expressed con cern and well wishes during my recent illness. Happily, my illness was minor and at this writing 1 am back in full harne.ss, hopefully having learned from the experience.
