Leonard Napolitano


A friend left us this week.  

Dr. Leonard Napolitano.

He died one day before his 83rd birthday.

I remember so many times seeing Leonard, as Dean of the UNM Medical School, slipping through the halls of the New Mexico Legislature, looking for a few crumbs to help build the medical school.   He found a lot of them.

In Santa Fe, Leonard and Bobby McBride would spend hours in the committee rooms - Bobby working on behalf of his clients and Leonard working on behalf of his school.

May they both be resting in peace - and watching the merry round house from above - enjoying a cigarette.
