Hi Tim

We have not met but I have known your Dad for decades from our work in the county health department. David will be a guest lecturer in my class on “Managing Healthy Communities” at UofL SPHIS today. I will introduce him while showing your painting of him (with credits, of course).

I bet he will be surprised and very proud!
