Hoyt, Executive Director Council for Tobacco Research-USA 633 Third Avenue New York, New York 10017 Dear Tom: By paying attention to Miss Hills, you asked for it: So, you will have to read what the boyhood home-town paper said, in a special second section front page. It is a xeroxed copy, because I have only one of the original-- for a scrapbook. Pictures don't xerox, of course, but the ghost shown may not be inappropriate. ,Liz.: You would not, of course, think of showing it to Miss The-whole thing really surprised me. I had thought that the University of Texas had crossed me off for turning down the deanship there in order to carry out the mission I had accepted in benighted South Carolina. "What fools we mortals be:" They really rolled out the red carpet. The Ashbel Smith Medallion (Dr. Ashbel Smith is called the "Father of the University of Texas") Award for Distinguished Service to Medici.ne may well b~e my 'highlight of the twilight. Lyall and I do hope that you can take that relaxing vacation. Our best, U5 Kenneth M. Lynch, M. D. KML:jch Enclosure
