I want to echo KB's thank you to Kathy Auerbach. Kathy, your work as the mother of our Journal of Human Lactation has helped to form our profession. You were a force in moving us from the volunteer sector to the professional arena where we could make a greater impact on health. You have lead us as we educated ourselves, parents and physicians. Thank you, Kathy, for holding our hand and leading us to academic and professional respect through JHL. I am hopeful that you will take some time to do what you want to do. I look forward to continuing to work with you as a part of your world-wide team of lactation professionals. Good luck with your new direction....I feel excited for you!! Love and thanks to Kathy!
