  9. “Thank you very much for this honour. I have very fond memories of delivering the Carter Lecture. I have also been helped enormously by my interactions with Clinical Geneticists throughout the UK. Our work simply would not be possible without these interactions. I find the Clinical Genetics community to be extremely open, generous and collaborative and it is a great pleasure to be acknowledged as set out your very kind invitation.”

  10. “What a delightful surprise to receive your very kind invitation to become an Honorary Member of the Society, which I have no hesitation in accepting.  I have always held the Society in very high regard and especially the way in which, in the very early days of applied molecular genetics, it fostered the close connection between clinician and scientist that created such a strong foundation for service delivery as well, of course, for first rate research.  It is many years since I did anything useful in medical genetics, so this honour comes both as a privilege and as a reminder of a very happy and productive period in my professional life.”
