This editorial is about a friend who I met years ago when I had to debate him at an American College of Cardiology (ACC) meeting, and we have known and respected each other ever since. As always, he was a gentleman in that debate, and he has remained so for as long as I have known him. Education of his colleagues, teaching of medical students, residents, and fellows‐in‐training has been J. Willis Hurst's lifelong passion, and he will continue to do that until January 1st, 2009, when he retires from Emory University. Copyright © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
