I was lucky enough to have had John as one of my EM faculty members when I was an EM resident at UChicago back in 1980-1982. Congratulations, John, on your many years of service to the profession and the community.
Quite a guy, he was always the cool and calm attending and you would never guess that inside the calmness and humbleness was this streak of greatness. He could convince people with his good nature and infectious laugh and impeccable logic. He was a little geeky and liked computers before we knew their promise and brought the concept of Clinical Informatics to ABMS long before anyone else. But the thing I loved about him was his ability to think big. His work at RWJF could make an impact across the country. And he was always an emergency physician and a great role model for a young admirer.
