Choose Your Attitude

Last Friday I had the opportunity to hear my favorite pharmacy professor and former colleague, Lon Larson, speak at Drake. He has always been a great speaker, but the topics were usually pharmacy related. Friday, the topic was life and it was a very moving talk about his battle with cancer and how he has decided to approach it. I would invite you to listen to the talk at this website: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3306349415815346531&hl=en

There was also an article in the Des Moines Register about Lon. Here's the link if you are interested: http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008811140350

Such a wise man, far beyond pharmacy. It was great to talk to Lon and Linda, even though there are never the right words to say at a time like this. Carter came along and slept through the entire speech.
