“I have been at Baylor now for almost half a century, including 40 years as chair of the Department of Dermatology, serving four presidents. After completing dermatology training in San Francisco and London, I followed my heart and came back home to Houston, where I graduated from Rice University in 1961, and joined the Baylor College of Medicine faculty in 1974. I have never regretted my decision, and I give to Baylor because I’m proud to be a part of the Baylor family.”
