Rafik has been briefly visiting, along with his wife Kathy; their daughter Katey is a counselor in Sacky this summer. Readers of this blog will remember the Rafik was a 19-year-old Egyptian international counselor in '76 and came back as VC in '77 and '78, maybe '79 too. Now an eminent liver transplant surgeon based on Houston and L.A. We were walking on this gorgeous first day of the session and ran into Sara, a staff member who works in Arts & Crafts. Sara and her sister are from Egypt. Next thing you know an animated conversation in Arabic is taking place on the Olympic Circle.
A bit later we visited the dialysis unit, of special interest to Rafik, whose interest in medicine (and trans- plantation in particular) was ignited here in the early days of our kidney program. We are hoping Rafik and Kathy will return for a whole week next summer.
