Introductory Note:  While my main subspecialty interest is in gastrointestinal pathology, a long-standing additional interest of mine has been genitourinary pathology.  I was an original member of the Genitourinary Working Group at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, where I had the great fortune to work with Drs. George Farrow, David Bostwick, Tom Sebo, and John Cheville. I continue to be interested in genitourinary pathology in my current position.
