Their compassionate concern for others and their remarkable sensitivity to the needs of both students and associates bring to mind a quotation from Ecclesiasticus (38:2): "For Of The Most High Cometh Healing." Dedication vii outstanding awards and honorary degrees throughout the world. The quality, precision, reliability, and rigid objectivity of his studies have established a mark of excellence revered by all those in­ volved in catecholamine research. Equally im­ pressive is the quality of his character. Despite his fame, he remains unimpre,ssed by his achievements. His calm dignity, sincerity, deep sense of integrity, graciousness, warm hospi­ tality, and deep concern for his fellow men impart a nobility of character rarely observed. His remarkable career and character have set an inspiring example to all those privileged to know him. Albert Schweitzer has said that example is not the most important thing in influencing others; it is the only thing. William Muir Manger Dr. Irvine H.

Although my maker believed that my destiny was to end up on the top shelf of a gentleman’s closet and to never have much of a life, I soon was to find out that my Master had big plans for me. I was about to become a Mason. Not just a Mason, but the Master of my owner’s Lodge where I would cover my Master and bring respect of our Brethren.T I would sit high and proud on my Master’s head only to be removed to cover his heart when we would pray. That was a great year 1967! A year full of great experiences to last a lifetime that I could reflect back on in my retirement. In 1985, my Master would awake me from my rest and explain to me that we were going on a great adventure and that my service was needed again, and this time we would be serving all the Masons of the Grand Lodge of Nebraska. We would be traveling from Chadron to South Sioux City to McCook to Brownville, visiting thousands of Brothers. I would be requested to perform at a minute’s notice and look my best at all times.
