The 1979 Presidential Address. American Physical Therapy Association

As I close this address, I do so with a certain sense of sadness about leaving a leadership team in a very exciting time of our professional history. I retire from this office with great faith in the leadership that will follow and with the optimism that the future will hold numerous excitements for our profession. The motivation and interactions that you have provided have caused me to dream of physical therapy in a manner I could have never envisioned on my own. Oh, how I thank you for the pleasures I have derived! I hope my remarks of today will serve to stimulate your dreams, your goals, inasmuch as the combination of our dreams and goals will bring greater fulfillment to the profession of physical therapy in the years that lie ahead.
