In this inaugural column for me, there are big shoes to fill. Throughout his long and distinguished career, Dr. Greg Fritz has touched innumerable lives: patients, families, trainees, and, of course, the readers of this newsletter. I've known him since coming to Brown 30 years ago, and he has been a person I've consulted at nodal and critical points in my career. His colleagues have watched him navigate the complexities of academic, clinical, and advocacy leadership with passion, exuberance, and humility. He has been (and probably will continue to be) a mentor to so many. And now he knows when to pass the torch in these many roles. These are good lessons for the rest of us.
