The time constraints imposed by the Academy meeting format and the multiple, often temporally conflicting responsibilities of many key ARO leaders were obliged, as a first priority to attend to Academy activities eventually led to a separate midwinter meeting in January, 1978. This bold step was championed primarily by David Lim. The growing ARO membership continues to ask the key questions. Moreover, we are getting answers which contribute to advances in both basic and clinical sciences. The opportunity to participate in all aspects of ARO activities was, and is a unique and exciting adventure.
Life is an exciting adventure or it is nothing.
