Dear LorimerIt is with great pleasure that the Editorial Committee, the Publication Board, of which you were Chairman from 1965 to 1968, and indeed all the members of the Australian Paediatric Association, present you with this issue of the Australian Paediatric Journal, to celebrate your 70th birthday on March 7th.The tributes which follow leave us with almost nothing to say which would not be repetitive, so we join with your contemporaries and protegés in offering our admiration, deep affection, and warmest wishes for a happy birthday
