It is an honor to represent the faculty, staff, and residents of the University of Cincinnati Section of Cardiothoracic Surgery, and all of us thank Dr Reed for selecting our program to present the Kent Trinkle Education Lectureship today.

In addition, the minutes from the Council meeting held April 24, 1994, indicate as chair, "Dr Murray encouraged that the STSA continue to invite a thoracic surgery program director within our geographical boundaries to present information dealing with his program."

We hereby acknowledge our debt of gratitude to Dr Murray for his original suggestion to establish an annual lectureship highlighting thoracic surgery education. Our fledgling program at the University of Cincinnati is honored to join the list of those who have made presentations previously.

In the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that the presentation today is out of order, or at least irregular, in that there is a small stream known as the Ohio River that separates Cincinnati and much of Ohio from the previously mentioned STSA boundaries. We will assume that Dr Reed was well aware of this fact and simply took the prerogative of the president and chose to ignore it.
