The Lifestyle Chronicles - Glad To Be Alive

Many years ago I made a presentation to the AOA Chapter at the University of Louisville medical school. During the discussion period someone asked me about the Medical University of South Carolina. My response included the fact that the College of Medicine at MUSC was founded in 1824 and is the first (oldest) medical school in the South. Exception was taken by a member of the audience in that the University of Louisville medical school can trace its ancestory back to the University of Transylvania, which would make it the oldest medical school in the South. I responded that even if their medical school was older, Louisville is not in "The South".

All of us are proud of where we come from and where we are. It is a part of who we are. That and our associations with those around us create our lifestyles. It is a beautiful time of the year. A time of growth and renewal and appreciation and gratitude.

Thanks to everyone for what you teach me everyday.
