William C. Patrick III
I only met Bill Patrick once at a conference on biological preparedness in Washington, D.C. It was a brief encounter but for me it was like a kid meeting a baseball legend. He was one of only a few in the community of biological warfare that I would consider to be a true expert [along with Kanatjan Alibekov (despite the controversies) and just a couple of others]. We had had only a few communications (faxes mostly) regarding this or that but mostly I remember him as being a wonderfully caring person with a warm and friendly smile who dearly loved his profession and his country. A man for whom I had (and still have) great admiration and respect.
Thank you Bill for our warmth, your devotion and dedication to your profession and your country.
James L. Mau, Biologist
