Vale Roger Cotton
Roger died in March 2006 at the age of 80. He was a leader
in his own city of Nottingham, and also nationally in England. He was
President of the British Division, first Editor of Histopathology, a journal
sponsored by the British Division of the IAP, International President
of the IAP and editor of the News Bulletin of the IAP for 12 years. He
published a text book on Pathology for medical students, Lecture Notes
in Pathology which went to a 4th edition in 1992. During his term as President
of the IAP and as Editor of the News Bulletin, he visited many Divisions,
particularly newer Divisions and those in underserved countries with a
view to fostering understanding and collaboration between Divisions. He
was one of the first to be awarded a Gold Medal of the IAP in recognition
of his distinguished service to the Academy.

News Bulletin of the French Division of the IAP
Christiane Bailly, Secretary of the
Division and Editor of the News Bulletin is doing a marvellous job with
this twice yearly publication. It is printed in full colour, and as well
as articles about the activities of the Division, it contains the cases
presented at the National meetings of the French Division. Christiane
has progressively improved the presentation of these cases so that now
each case is reported with pictures of the gross pathology and representative
views of the sections at low, medium and high magnification which makes
the presentation resemble the manner in which a pathologist examines the
cases. The Bulletin is presented in the form of a book that can be stored
on the bookshelf in the laboratory. This gives a very usable record of
the slide seminar and makes it possible for easy reference to what is
an up to date account of a selected subject by an expert in the field.
The simplicity and quality of the finished product gives no indication
of the expertise and the infinite amount of time that Christiane has to
spend on each image, and each account to make sure that the text is well
presented and each image is big enough for proper display, in focus and
of the correct colour density.
Congratulations Christiane.
