My career would not have survived the deletion test of any of these men: Dennis K. Stone, my late husband (left, picture taken in 1980 when we met as residents at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital); Donald W. Seldin, Chief of Medicine, UT Southwestern (middle, picture taken in 1983 when I was chief resident of internal medicine, UT Southwestern); and Michael S. Brown and Joseph L. Goldstein, scientific mentors at UT Southwestern (right, picture taken in 1985 when I was a postdoctoral fellow in their laboratory).
