Eulogy to Someone Else

In its March 1982 C h a p te r  N etw ork, the 
American Society of Hospital Pharmacists, in 
Bethesda, Maryland, reported the untimely 
demise of Someone Else.

“We were saddened to learn this week of 
the passing of one of the Society’s most valu­
able members— Someone Else. Som eone’s 
passing has created a vacancy that will be dif­
ficult to fill. Else worked with the Society for 
many years and did far more than the normal 
p erson’s work. W henever leadership was 
mentioned, this wonderful person was looked 
to for inspiration as well as results.

“Whenever there was a job to do or a posi­
tion to be filled or a meeting to attend, one 
name was on everyone’s lips: ‘Let Someone 
Else do it.’ Someone is survived by all cur- j 
rent Society members and will be especially  
missed by its inactive members. We hope  
everyone will actively keep Someone Else’s 
memory alive.’’
