 You know, Sal graced this room many a time, and of course he was around this building for 27 years as an instructor, so I know he's here with us today, and I can hear him right now saying, Anne, don't get up there and lose your shit, so I will try not to. Never let your education interfere with your learning, Sal said. And I'm sure everyone in this room and in our virtual audience has in their mind something that Sal said. Of course, most of them are not to be repeated in this room, but I'm sure, nevertheless, you've thought of them, you've maybe said them and maybe quoted them, which he would have thought the ultimate compliment. A proud native Houstonian, Sal graduated from Texas Heart Institute class of December 1987 and stayed on staff full time for 27 years. He genuinely enjoyed interacting and teaching students. He became our lifelong friends, as you saw there, and armed with only a bucket of water, some tubing and clamps, he provided a low fidelity simulation experience that was still able to convey not only the mechanics of profusion, but the responsibility of profusionist to the patient and surgical team. Even though one of the older staff in later years, Sal just had a natural ability to relate to and engage students, a testament to this consistent character, quick wit and happy spirit. The Sal Gretchen Memorial Scholarship is a $5,000 annual award given to a THI profusion student of junior or senior status to defray educational expenses. Applicants must meet an academic threshold, provide transcripts and write a 1000 word essay. Our selection committee this year included myself, Dr. Ott, who couldn't be here today, he's out of the country enjoying retirement, and Dr. Livesey is here with us today. We also sought feedback from profusion staff that work with these students clinically and that we're also co-workers of Sal's. This scholarship would not be possible without the generous donations we've received over the last two years, and I really have to say there's not a week goes by that I don't get a letter from the Texas Heart Institute telling me that someone has made a donation in Sal's memory. So I really am thankful for that. And since we lost our wonderful colleague, I have received so many of these letters and it's really a testament to the impact he had on profusion and our cardiovascular community. So to the scholarship, every applicant had an inspiring and compelling profusion story, and I really have to give a shout out to some of the moms of these students. Several of our applicants were exposed to cardiovascular surgery and encouraged in profusion by their mothers. So way to go moms. You introduced your son or daughter to an opportunity in healthcare and you encouraged them to pursue that. It was truly uplifting to read these essays. Every applicant is deserving, you really had a hard time selecting the recipient and congratulate all of them on their hard work and the exemplary qualities they already exhibit as healthcare professionals and leaders. But as we can only select one, it is my privilege and distinct honor to award the first Sal Gretcho Memorial Scholarship to Kyle Gustav. Kyle, we're not going to put you on the spot if you don't want to say anything, but I just want to let you know that we took that wonderful picture, Dr. Cooley and Sal in the operating room for the 75,000 case and I was telling Kerry that there's actually some of these students are here today. So that picture is really going to be awesome and it will be given to every recipient. So Kyle, and we also will have a plaque with every recipient and Kerry is going to show that. I will be here in the Texas Heart Institute. So Kyle, you're the first one on line. This is hard to speak, kind of a loss for words, being honored to be in this position. I just want to say thank you and thank everybody here that's put a hand in my learning and education. So thank you all very much.
