He loves numbers - the bigger thebetter. The numbers have steadily increasedunder his stewardship and this year they are'about to leave the planet.'A recent statistic ot which he is proud Is thatat this meeting they had the largest groupThe lOOch Meeting saw 4225 physician-pathologistsin attendance - the second highest inthe history of USCAP (4262 in Boston in 2009).There were 880 international visitors from 61countries outside of the USA and Canada. The total USCAP membership now stands at over 10,600physiclan-pathologlsts. In July 1999 there were520 junior members. 6,800 additional juniors havebeen recruited in the 13 years since then. Many ofthem are now regular members. In this 13 years thepercentages of juniors attending the meeting haverisen from 41% to 85%. It appears that the current'steady state' of 2000 attending the meeting? wasreached about 5 years ago.With 121 exhibitors and 285 booths, this provedto be our largest Exhibit Show in history.

The first awardees areDrs.

He embraced the use of theelectronic media for communicating withthe membership and for deliveringeducational materials. (He says thatin 1999 he did not know howto turn on a computer.) Thisresulted in(l)The USCAP Website (www.uscap.org) which is crammedwith educational materials thatare free. It is a beautifully presented web site and it is no wonderthat the hits are numbering in themillions and the downloads are trendingin the same direction.(2) Self Assessment modules and CME programmesonline for members. He took particular trouble to bring in new initiatives for Juniormembers which have borne fruit asindicated already in this report, andwhich will be his enduring legacy.He made considerable efforts topursue an outreach programmeof assistance to pathologists inunderserved countries, especially those in East and West Africa.Fred finishes his 13th and finalreport to the USCAP with hissignature salutation:"Thanks for all your support for allthose we serve~our patients, our physicians and our students."Fred Silva, Secretary-Treasurer and Executive VicePresidetu, USCAP, March 11,2011.And thanks to you, Fred. It has been an education, anhonour and a privilege to know and to work with you.I hope that you andJean will find plenty ofchallengingthings to occupy you in the comingyears.-Robin Cooke, EditorHenry li (ionzale!

As Editor of the News Bulletin I tried to capture some ofthose celebrations.The current Board of management of the USCAPwas photographed during the lunch break in theirbusy agenda.A dinner lecture was given by Sir Ken Robinsonan internationally recognized leader in the development of creativity, innovation and human resources.After tiie lecture the incoming President of theUSCAR Greg Fuller presented him with a silver starwhich was the medal of office of theJexas Rangers.This was accompanied by a book about this famousgroup of law enforcers in the lawless early days ofthe State ofTexas.A 'fun run' was arranged for early one morning.This raised a significant amount of money for theSan Antonio branch of the American Cancer Society. At the same time there was a very big 'fun run'being staged in the Hemisfair Park on the Southernend of the Convention CenterThis is an annual fundraising event for the Cystic Fibrosis Association.An Art Show revealed many talented artistsamongst the pathology fraternity. Sale of the Artworks raised money for the Foundation of theAcademy. This Fund is already supporting manyeducational and philanthropic projects.Another major milestone in the history of theAcademy was ^e retirement of the Executive vicePresident. Fred Siiva. This was celebrated with anevening cocktail party.The Residents' Fair at which the various Pathology Departments in North America advertisetheir training programs was introduced a few yearsago. This year it was even more successful than inthe past. It is a noisy and joyous function. I hopethat I can convey some of this atmosphere in thephotographs. These young people, full of youthfulenergy and enthusiasm will be Fred's legacy to theAcademy.There were also some other events about which Ibecame awafe.TTie"fifst"USCAP meeting that bothFred and I attended was in Washington in 1976.Thatwas an eventful meeting because it was the last jointmeeting of the USCAP and the lAP Both of theseorganisations had their birth in the InternationalBelow: USCAP Council meeting: Seated: Laura Lamp!.

She had the disappointing taskof de commissioning the AFIP which since its establishment in 1862 has been a world leader in Education andResearch. It had an excellent consultation service and awonderful publication service.When I visited the AFIP after the Congress in Washington in 1976, Ron Neafie showed me through thebuilding. We went to a basement room where at thattime they. .bad. the printing facility Hprp pilpH high OMfrywhere,there v^'ere the sheets of pages of the book'Pathology of Tropical and Extraordinary Diseases' andthe red covers ready to be added to them.
