Years ago, I was a new staff speech pathologist and clinical audiologist at the St. Louis V.A. Hospitals. I had just received my graduate degree; the St. Louis V.A. was my first professional employer. While there, it was my great fortune to meet Dr. Simon Horenstein. I was invited to attend case conferences, neurology rounds and grand rounds by and with Dr. Horenstein. I was allowed to observe neurosurgery procedures. Though he had a mild disdain for "therapists", he always treated me with the utmost courtesy and respect. According to other neurologists and staff physicians, Dr. Horenstein was a physician's physician. Nursing staff and other medical professionals both liked and respected Dr. Horenstein. Dr. Horenstein sparked what became a lifelong interest in the neurology of cognition, speech and language which led to completion of a doctoral degree in that area. I shall never forget Dr. Horenstein for his great wisdom, the compassion with which he treated sick, veteran patients, and the kindness and decorum with which he related to me.
