Alan showed me so much respect and attention. He restored my faith in the career. -I want to practice nuclear medicine like Alan did! My father was rough on me. He offered much more criticism than encouragement. I have always responded better to patience than to fear. Alan was so wonderful in his mentorship with me. -I want to be the father that Alan was! I have made many mistakes in my life. I have not treated family, friends, and coworkers as well as I could have at times. Alan showed compassion to everyone he encountered. He made them feel valued and important when he was with them. -I want to be the person Alan was!
