Andrzej Szczepanik - Very friendly and outgoing, when introducing himself, he said, "call me Andy" and don't worry about pronouncing my full name. As the only man in the group Andy seemed to take on a leadership role. He was very interested in all the aspects of our agenda, but especially the presentation at Carter Blood Care about stem cell research and bone marrow transplants. This topic related directly to his career in coordinating worldwide transfers of stem cells. My wife thought he had a cute personality and was "adoptable." Bill Bracken
