Autores ResumoWhen I was first approached by the organizing committee to present the Pioneer Lecture to honor Dr. Lawrence A. Hetrick, I flatly said "No".There was certainly no lack of respect on my part for his well-deserved honor, but more because I felt others were better acquainted with him, and would be more logical choices to present the lecture.Because this is called the Pioneer Lecture series, I decided to see how the term was defined.I was hesitant to believe that both Dr. Hetrick and I could be "pioneers".My thoughts were only of covered Conestoga wagons, Lewis and Clark, Daniel Boone, and Indian attacks.However, after reading the following definition, we both qualify on several grounds: Pioneer.Noun: One who ventures into unknown or unclaimed territory to settle.An innovator in a particular field.Verb: To initiate or participate in the development of.To explore or open up (a region).French: Originally a foot
