Despite competition with an ASA benefit dinner, the venue was well attended. Jerry Heneghan gave a fascinating talk on medical simulation. Jerry’s background is quite varied: He has a BS in Engineering from the US Military Academy, has been an AH- 64 Apache Attack Helicopter Pilot, has an MBA from Duke University Fuqua School of business, and has been a commercial game developer with several companies. It was Dr. Smith’s fervent wish that his work continue long into the future to advance scientific discovery, improve the safety of health- care, and ultimately save lives. The BioGears Team Raleigh North Carolina, September 2014 (https://biogearsengine.com/documentation/index.html) Save the date for the next Ty Smith dinner in Boston, Massa- chusetts on Sunday, October 22, 2017. Jerry met Ty Smith in the fall of 2001 at Research Triangle Insti- tute (RTI) and was involved in creating Biogears, open source software based upon Ty’s work in the 1990s. The software is dedicated to Ty Smith, and I will quote the website directly: This software is dedicated to N. Ty Smith, M.D. — physician, pro- fessor, mentor, friend, and founding director of the Pacific Academy of Ecclesiastical Music (PACEM). Dr. Smith was born in Iowa and graduated from Harvard College and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Smith served on the faculties at Stanford Medical Center and the University of California at San Diego. He was a Visiting Professor at the University of Washington, Institute of Medical Physics in Holland, University of Wisconsin, and University of Otago in New Zealand. Dr. Smith also served at Children’s Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, Massachusetts General Hospital, U.S. Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, Virginia, U.S. Veterans Administration Hospital in San Diego, and Dunedin Hospital in New Zealand. Dr. Smith, along with Ken Starko M.Sc., created “Body Simulation” in the 1990s. Body Simulation models and their interfaces were used Mike Perry and Kelly Sager. for pharmacologic experimentation, testing, teaching, and training by device manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, professional MORE TY SMITH DINNER associations, and government agencies.
