 \nI first met him in New Orleans in 1955.Dr.Stanley H.Durlacher,one of Dr.Fisher's students,was the senior foren-sic pathologist for the Office of the Coroner,Parish of Or-rleans.Dr.Fisher had come to New Orleans to review someslides of coronary arteries with Dr.Durlacher.The two ofthem were sitting side by side in a laboratory working atseparate microscopes.Dr.Durlacher introduced me to Dr.Fisher and made some comment to the effect that I was in-terested in forensic medicine.Dr.Fisher said“..it's the mostinteresting and important field of medicine.I hope you con-tinue to be fascinated.We need good people but not manyphysicians consider it a worthwhile specialty.\"He had seenright through me—being something of a maverick,he merelyfanned the flame of my enthusiasm.  \nIn 1957 I worked a little with Dr.Fisher in the alcoholworkshop that was part of the Annual Fall Meeting of theASCP that year in New Orleans.Mainly.I helped gathermaterials for the workshop and ran a few errands.But Dr.Alan Moritz,who had taught Dr.Fisher and set him on theforensic track,had conned me into giving a paper on the mor-phologic changes in the alcoholic.So from that time forward.I felt as if Ibelonged to the forensic group.Before Dr.Fisherleft New Orleans he asked if I would be interested in com-ing to Baltimore as an Assistant Medical Examiner.I wasdelighted to be asked,took a trip to Baltimore,accepted theoffer.and moved there in July of 1958.Dr.Fisher arrangedfor me to be his associate pathologist a the Maryland GencralHospital so I was able to vicw this unusual man not only inthe forensic area but also as a tissue and cytopathologist(whileI worricd with clinical pathology).  \nDr.Fisher had a wonderful way of leaving one wit","cbCaivgq98I6heSV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivgq98I6heSV","pdf",1165059,"English","# EDITOR'S NOTE","[{\"question\":\"What changes in forensic science does the editor describe for 1984?\",\"answer\":\"The editor notes increased knowledge and utilization of forensic science experts by the legal profession, and encourages more training and development of forensic scientists, including forensic odontology.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is memorialized in the note and why?\",\"answer\":\"Dr. Russell S.
