THE "NEW" PROSTATE CANCER INFOLINK 
Congratulations and welcome to Dr. Williams, and Thank You to Dr. Krongrad for his development of this website/forum and long service as Medical Director. And while I am providing recognition, a huge Thank You to Mike Scott for his long and invaluable service as our Sitemaster!
As an aside, I met my wife to be while strolling on Virginia Beach the summer of 1953 where she and girlfriends from Canton, Ohio, had just arrived on vacation and while I, as a young sailor was stationed with CINCLANTFLT Headquarters in Norfolk. We married April 6th, 1954, then spent the next 23 years on our “honeymoon” traveling to many locations during my subsequent Navy career. Here we are, among those who take marriage seriously, 64 years, 8 months as of tomorrow!
Thank you for the “Thank yous” Chuck.
And — also as an aside — you and Mrs Maack now need to buckle down for another 6 years and 7 months to catch up to George and Barbara Bush!
