"It is an awesome book - a tome - an encyclopedia of UPAP. It is such a great work, and it wraps up the span of UPAP history no better way. A classic. I tore through the wrapping and sat down to look through every page. What a marvelous legacy you have here. It is truly wonderful and well done. Congratulations, Don - this is the top of the mark and a culmination of a very rich career and legacy"

ROD HOOKER, PhD, PA

"I received your marvelous 50th anniversary book of the Utah MEDEX Program this week. It is a great accomplishment. Don, I know you must be very proud of it. You certainly should be as the editor and leader. Congratulations to both you and Kathy for all your outstanding contributions to PA education in the United States and abroad. It has been great getting to know you over the decades"
