Paul Harris Award to Dr. Herb Forward.

Program. President Bill introduced PDG Leo and asked that, on behalf of our Club, he present a Paul Harris Award to Dr. Herb Forward. From PDG Leo we learned that Herb was born at Mount Isa in Australia but moved and settled permanently in Vancouver when a young boy. He attended U.Hill School for 11 years and subsequently got his medical degree at UBC. After subsequent training at UBC, Montreal and Buffalo he qualified as a Surgeon and from 1963 practised for 24 years at UBC, Old Shaughnessy and VGH, becoming Head of Surgery at the latter in 1982. Herb's main focuses have been in Transplantation (Liver), Trauma and Cancer Surgery and Surgical Education - a passion he has carried forward into retirement. In accepting the Award, Herb acknowledged the many friendships he has developed with Arbutus Club Members over the years. What he didn't mention, of course, is the fact that his relationship with our Club has been a very active and enthusiastic one and what he has got out of it directly reflects what he's put into it. Long may it continue!
