A New Chapter Begins for the
Class of 2019

Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa—help students into their white coats; students enjoy a Barons baseball game at the MS1
Welcome Event; Dean Vickers addresses the incoming class; a student proudly models her new white coat.
Created in 1993 by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation to emphasize the importance of compassion, in
addition to clinical skill, in the practice of medicine, the White Coat Ceremony has become nearly
ubiquitous at American medical schools. For the
School of Medicine, it is an opportunity to formally
welcome a new class of students in the presence of
family, friends, faculty, and alumni—the people
most invested in their success.
This year’s White Coat Weekend kicked off on
Friday, August 14 with a welcome event hosted by
the Medical Alumni Association at Regions Field,
home of the Birmingham Barons. More than 400
attendees—new students and their families as well
as MAA members and staff—enjoyed burgers and
hot dogs (and cookies in the shape of white coats) as
they watched the Barons take on the Montgomery
Biscuits (see photos on page 18).
A new awards luncheon preceded the White Coat
Ceremony on Sunday, August 16, at which the
recipients of the MAA’s Martha Myers Role Model
Award—Daniel M. Avery Jr., M.D. ’82, FACOG,
FACS; Susan D. McCollum, M.D. ’73; and the
late Henry Spira, M.D. ’50—were formally recognized (turn to page 4 to learn more about the award
recipients). Two newly created School of Medicine awards were also presented—the Sara Crews
Finley, M.D. Leadership Scholarship (see page 3

for more details) and the Brewer-Heslin
Award for Professionalism in Medicine,
presented by former Governor Albert P.
Brewer to Martin J. Heslin, M.D. Dr.
Heslin is the James P. Hayes Endowed
Professor of Gastrointestinal Oncology, and his exceptional professionalism
inspired Brewer to establish the endowment.
The luncheon also featured the induction of 22 third- and fourth-year students into the Gold Humanism Honor
Society, whose mission is to recognize
individuals who exemplify humanistic
patient care and can serve as role models, mentors, and leaders in medicine.
Kevin J. Leon, M.D., 1999 internal
medicine resident and 2002 pulmonary
fellow, was presented with the Leonard
Tow Humanism in Medicine Award,
given to those who best demonstrate the
ideals of compassion in the delivery of
care; respect for patients, their families,
and health care colleagues; and clinical
excellence. Dr. Leon is currently associate professor of medicine in the Division
of Pulmonary, Allergy and Critical Care
Medicine.
Selwyn M. Vickers, M.D., FACS,
senior vice president for medicine and
dean of the School of Medicine, recognized legacy families, incoming students
whose parents, grandparents, and/or
2
other family members are graduates of
the school.
The White Coat Ceremony began
with remarks by Dr. Vickers, who
reminded students that, “in the years
to come, you will wear your white coat
during all patient encounters, identifying yourself as a medical student at UAB
and a member of the noble tradition of
medicine.” Nathan B. Smith, M.D.,
assistant dean for students and admissions, welcomed students on behalf of
the admissions committee and offered
some statistics that highlight what a remarkable achievement their acceptance
into the School of Medicine truly is.
According to Dr. Smith, the committee
considered 3,768 applications in selecting approximately 474 applicants to
interview. More than 4,000 individual
interviews were conducted to whittle
down the applicants to the 186 students
who comprise the incoming class of
medical students. He also noted that,
for the first time in the school’s history,
women make up more than 50 percent
of the incoming class.
MAA President Pink J. Folmar
Jr., M.D. ’72, noted the many ways
in which the MAA supports students’
training, from awarding more than
$75,000 in scholarships this year as well
as emergency assistance through the
Medical Student Assistance Fund, to
providing the white coats that students
received at the ceremony.
The ceremony’s keynote speaker was
Nicholas Van Wagoner, M.D., Ph.D.,
the newly appointed assistant dean for
students, who told the class, “Today,
your white coat is light. But it has big
pockets, and if you are like most medical
students, those pockets will become
filled with ‘stuff:’ a stethoscope that will
help you hear inside of your patient—an
apt metaphor for your role as listener
… Just as you need to be silent to hear
a beating heart, to truly understand

your patient, you have to be silent and listen. The use of your
stethoscope also requires that you touch your patient. The human touch shows concern, calms the anxious, and, although it
may not cure, it can heal.”
Students then filed across the stage to be helped into their
white coats by representatives of the School of Medicine’s three
regional campuses: Robert M. Centor, M.D., regional dean
of the Huntsville campus; Duncan McRae Jr., M.D., surgery
clerkship director of the Montgomery campus; and Richard
H. Streiffer, M.D., regional dean of the Tuscaloosa campus.
The ceremony closed with a reading of the class mission statement, composed during their Patient, Doctor, and Society
course. The statement read in part, “As we increase our knowledge in the science of medicine, we must never forget that our
true calling is to our patients as people.”

REWARDING LEADERSHIP
Ryan B. Khodadadi, Class of 2017, was selected as the inaugural recipient of the Sara Crews Finley, M.D. Leadership Scholarship, which
was formally presented at the 2015 White Coat Ceremony. The new
scholarship, established by the late Dr. Finley’s husband, Wayne H.
Finley, M.D. ’60, and their children, Sara J. Finley and Randall W.
Finley, M.D. ’83, supports students who demonstrate exceptional
academic and leadership abilities. It includes full tuition for the third
year of medical school and is renewable for the fourth year. Khodadadi also received a new white coat with special insignia identifying
him as the Sara Crews Finley, M.D. Leadership Scholar.
“It’s a huge honor to be named the first Finley Scholarship recipient,” Khodadadi says. “I read about Dr. Finley’s contributions to
genetics, and she had such an accomplished career. She was in the
forefront of her field, so I can see why they wanted to acknowledge
leadership qualities with the scholarship.”
“Ryan has an exemplary record of academics and service, and he
displayed leadership, candor, and a sense of humor in his interview,”
says Sara J. Finley. “We believe he is an outstanding choice for the
scholarship, and I am confident my mother would have been as impressed with Ryan as we all are.”
Khodadadi was born and raised in Auburn, where his father is a
professor in the mechanical engineering department at Auburn University. He became interested in medicine while studying biomedical
engineering at Vanderbilt University, from which he graduated magna
cum laude in 2013. He currently serves as a School of Medicine admissions ambassador, is a member of the School of Medicine Medical
Education Committee, and serves on the Research Committee and
Health Screening Committee for Equal Access Birmingham. He is a
member of the American Physician-Scientists Association UAB Chapter and the Cancer/Oncology Student Interest Group.
LEADING BY EXAMPLE
M a r t h a M y e r s R o l e M o d e l A w a r d Wi n n e r s H o n o r e d
The 2015 White Coat Awards Luncheon included the presentation of the MAA’s Martha Myers Role Model Awards to three
distinguished alumni. Martha C. Myers, M.D. ’71, served as a medical missionary in Yemen until her tragic death at the hands
of a Yemeni extremist in 2002. Dr. Myers’ life serves as a reminder of how physicians are integral members of a greater community that extends beyond patient care at the bedside, clinic, and hospital. It is in the spirit of service for others in all aspects of life
that the MAA recognizes the recipients of the Martha Myers Role Model Award.
Daniel M. Avery Jr., M.D., FACOG, FACS; Class of 1982
Dr. Avery serves as director of medical student admissions and professor of community and rural medicine at the College of Community Health Sciences (CCHS)
at The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. He is also the medical laboratory
director and medical review officer for University Medical Center and professor and
division chief of pathology. He served as the chair of obstetrics and gynecology at
the CCHS from 2006 to 2015.
Dr. Avery has held numerous teaching positions, instructing family medicine,
obstetrics and gynecology, and pathology residents since 1985 and teaching medical
students since 1979. He is the past president of the joint medical staffs and former
chief of staff of DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa. He joined the faculty
at the CCHS in 2003 after 20 years of private practice.
Dr. Avery received a bachelor of science degree in biology from UAB in 1975 and
earned his medical degree from the School of Medicine in 1982. Following residency training in anatomical and clinical pathology at UAB, he completed an OB/GYN
residency at Carraway Methodist Medical Center and a fellowship in addiction
medicine at UAB. Dr. Avery is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, gynecologic endoscopy, forensic medicine, forensic examination, and family medicine obstetrics. Founder of the Board of Certification in
Family Medicine Obstetrics, he serves as editor of the Journal of Family Medicine Obstetrics.
Dr. Avery and his wife, the former Kathy Tywann Thomas of Jasper, live in Tuscaloosa. They have three children and four
grandchildren. His son, Daniel M. Avery III, M.D. ’10, is an orthopedic surgeon in Connecticut. His son-in-law Justin G. Miller,
M.D., is a senior general surgery resident at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
Susan D. McCollum, M.D.; Class of 1973
Dr. McCollum grew up in Montgomery, where her father was a pharmacist at
the Veterans Administration hospital. In the early 1950s, her father experienced extensive hospitalization suffering from systemic lupus and associated complications.
Although children were not allowed on hospital floors at that time, she remembers
the VA nurses sneaking her up the back stairs to visit him.
She lost her father at age 5, and those early hospital experiences shaped her life,
as she vowed that one day she would go into medicine to “take care of another
little girl’s daddy and not let him die.” She completed undergraduate studies at The
University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, and entered medical school in 1969 as one
of only four women in a class of 100. She completed an internship at St. Vincent’s
Hospital and a residency in family practice at Northeast Alabama Regional Medical
Center.
As her love of medicine and caring for others grew, Dr. McCollum felt called by
her faith to practice medicine in Pakistan in 1979, where she worked for four years
caring for patients with typhoid, malaria, tuberculosis, and complicated obstructed
4
labor. She returned to practice in Birmingham for seven years, and then headed to rural Kenya in 1990, starting in a
40-bed hospital that she rearranged to accommodate more than 60 beds, with 10 beds for obstetric patients. Between
the hospital and clinics in the bush, she treated a wide range of illnesses ranging from cerebral malaria to a meningococcal epidemic. She also provided short-term relief work at a Zambian hospital.
In late 1994, she returned to Birmingham to be close to her aging mother while providing family practice care across
central Alabama. Over the last six years, she has returned to Pakistan eight times for eight- to 12-week stints, primarily
working to train physicians and nursing students to perform Caesarean births and how to care for premature babies.
Continuing a practice she began years ago, she presents each new mother with a New Testament.
Henry Spira, M.D.; Class of 1950
Growing up in pre-war Vienna, Dr. Spira witnessed firsthand the
harsh realities of World War II. In January 1939, he and his immediate
family left Austria for the United States; most of the family who stayed
behind died at the hands of the Nazis. He faced enormous obstacles
during the completion of his education, not only learning a new
language and settling into a new country suspicious of immigrants, but
also the sudden death of his father shortly after the family’s arrival in
the U.S.
He graduated from Mercer University in Macon, Ga., then earned
a master’s degree in chemistry from The University of Alabama in
Tuscaloosa before enrolling at the Medical College of Alabama in
Birmingham in 1946. After medical school, he completed internships
in Chicago and Boston followed by a residency at Bellevue Hospital in
New York City.
Dr. Spira returned to Birmingham in 1958 to open a private practice
in psychiatry and neurology, serving as a clinical professor of psychiatry
at the School of Medicine. He continued both roles until his death in 1981.
During his more than 20 years in Birmingham, Dr. Spira served on the staffs of eight local hospitals and played an
instrumental role in the opening of the psychiatric unit at Brookwood Medical Center. He served in various leadership roles with the Alabama Department of Education, Crippled Children’s Neurology Clinic, University of Alabama
Subcommittee for Psychiatry Service/Medical Record Committee, Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Service, the
Mental Health Clinic of Talladega County, and the Travelers Aid Society. He developed relationships with churches
and congregations to help those in need of psychiatric or neurological care. His commitment to ensuring access to
mental health services extended to Alabama prisons and to rural counties across the state.
Dr. Spira and his wife, Iris, had five daughters, two of whom became physicians. Today, two of their granddaughters are also in medical school.
The full biographies of all award recipients are hung in the Martha Myers
Gallery in Volker Hall. The Medical Alumni Association hopes that the lives
of those we recognize with this award will remind all alumni of what it truly
means to be a physician.

Letter from the President
Pink L. Folmar Jr., M.D. ’72
The Medical Alumni Association spent
the summer planning another year full of
events for students and alumni. In August, we
welcomed the entering class at a Birmingham
Barons game at Regions Field, and presented
each of the 186 new students with their
white coats at the White Coat Ceremony.
In September, we hosted a reception for
Montgomery alumni, and will host events
in Huntsville in October and Tuscaloosa in
November.
If your class year ends in a 1 or 6, you’ll
want to save March 4-5, 2016, for our
43rd Annual Medical Alumni Weekend. In
addition to celebrating those reunion classes,
the Classes of 1950-1965 will be honored at
the Golden Reunion Dinner. Mini Medical
School will return on the morning of
March 4, offering alumni a glimpse into the
experience of today’s medical students.
Dues invitations have been mailed to all
alumni, and I encourage you to join or renew
your MAA membership, which supports the
programs we provide to students and alumni.
You will notice a change in membership
benefits this year: In partnership with the
UAB National Alumni Society, we are offering
an expanded package of MAA membership
benefits, including discounts at Barnes and
Noble, Brooks Brothers, Jos. A. Bank, and
more (visit www.AlabamaMedicalAlumni.
org for details). Based on feedback from
our members, we have discontinued the
DynaMed service, but if you need continuing
medical education credits, the School of
Medicine’s CME Department offers a range of
courses at no cost to our alumni. Visit www.
uab.edu/medicine/cme to learn more.
The School of Medicine Alumni Campaign
continues to make great things happen for
our students and faculty, surpassing $22
million toward our goal of $30 million in gifts
from SOM alumni to any UAB program.
Senior Vice President Dr. Selwyn M. Vickers
has identified five priorities for alumni
giving: scholarships; resident and fellowship
education; faculty support; research; and
enhancing education across all programs. You
may give an outright gift, a pledge up to five
years, or a gift through your estate plan.
The Medical Alumni Association has
chosen to focus our efforts on scholarships,
and I have made a personal commitment to
establish an endowed scholarship, in hopes
of lessening the debt burden for medical
students. I invite you to join me in supporting
the priority that means the most to you.
For more information on the Alumni
Campaign and how you can make a
difference, please visit www.uab.edu/

Norman McSwain Endowed Initiative
On July 28, 2015, renowned trauma
surgeon Norman E. McSwain, M.D. ’63,
passed away after a brief hospitalization for a
cerebral bleed.
Norman made a powerful impact in the
realm of trauma surgery and emergency
medicine, serving on the staff of Tulane
University Medical Center since 1977. He
played a major role in the development
of a Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support
program that has trained more than 500,000
people in more than 40 countries. He is
remembered for his passion for helping
people in their worst time, and for his
customary greeting: “What have you done
for the good of mankind today?”
As we consider that question, we
8
invite you to join us in establishing the
Norman McSwain, M.D., Endowed
Fellowship in Trauma Surgery, which will
support an outstanding trauma fellow
who demonstrates clinical excellence and
professionalism and who shares Norman’s
passion for service to others.
Our goal of $200,000 will establish the
endowed fellowship. Endowments produce
spendable earnings of 5 percent of principal,
so an endowment of $200,000 will provide
a $10,000 award to a deserving trainee.
We seek to secure the first $25,000
by December 15 so that we can ask the
University of Alabama Board of Trustees to
establish an endowed support fund as an
interim step at their February 2016 meeting.
We appreciate
your consideration
of this effort
to establish a
permanent legacy
for our colleague
and friend. Your
gift will ensure that his memory lives on
through the recipients of the Norman
McSwain, M.D., Endowed Fellowship in
Trauma Surgery.

Thoughts from the Dean
Caroline Harada, M.D., and Craig Hoesley, M.D.
Most of us remember vividly those
teachers and mentors who were instrumental
in making us the physicians we are today.
The importance of master teachers to medical
student training cannot be overstated, and
the School of Medicine is proud to be home
to one of the best medical school faculties in
the country.
The run-up to the current academic year
brought exciting changes to our medical
education leadership. In July, we welcomed
Craig J. Hoesley, M.D., a longtime professor
of medicine in the Division of Infectious
Diseases, as senior associate dean for medical
education and chair of the Department of
Medical Education. Dr. Hoesley completed
residency training in internal medicine
and a fellowship in infectious diseases at
UAB before joining the faculty in 1999.
He brings extensive experience to his new
position, having served as associate dean for
undergraduate medical education since 2008.
As senior associate dean, Dr. Hoesley is
tasked with overseeing all aspects of medical
education—including the offices of Medical
Student Services, Undergraduate Medical
Education, the Medical Scientist Training
Program, Graduate Medical Education, and
Continuing Medical Education—and student
services for the campuses in Birmingham,
Huntsville, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa. He
also oversees all strategic education initiatives
and ensures the school is in compliance with
accreditation standards.
A passion for service is a quality we look
for in our applicants and encourage in our
students. In August, I was pleased to name
Caroline N. Harada, M.D., associate
professor in the Division of Geriatrics,
Gerontology and Palliative Care, as assistant
dean for community engaged scholarship.
This new, joint position in the Department of
Medical Education and the Office of Medical
Student Services was created to formalize
the integration of service learning in the
undergraduate medical education curriculum.
She also serves as a faculty mentor to the
Heersink Learning Community, which was
named this year through a generous gift from
Marnix Heersink, M.D., of Dothan and his
family.
Dr. Harada joined the School of Medicine
faculty in 2008 from the University of
Chicago, where she was a faculty member for
two years. She completed her undergraduate
work in biology at Brown University in 1996,
and, after a year of living in Bolivia teaching
an after-school program at an orphanage,
began her medical education at the Yale
School of Medicine, graduating in 2001. She
completed an internal medicine residency and
two-year geriatrics fellowship at the University
of Chicago.
I hope you will join me in wishing
Drs. Hoesley and Harada well in their
new positions, and that you will have the
opportunity to meet them in person at an
upcoming alumni event. I am certain that
they will be remembered by future generations
of School of Medicine graduates with as
much respect and gratitude as we do our own
mentors.

FINISHING STRONG
Fun Run and 5K Benefit Service Learning and Community Care
Equal Access Birmingham (EAB) hosted
its second annual Heart + Sole Fun Run/5K
on Saturday, August 29. EAB is a medical
student-run free clinic created to serve the uninsured and underserved in the Birmingham
area and to provide meaningful, service-learning experiences to augment medical education
at the School of Medicine. Student volunteers
see approximately 400 patients per year at the
EAB Clinic at the Church of the Reconciler,
which opened in November 2012.
The family-friendly event was open to
participants of all ages, who ranged from 3 to
67 years old. This year, in the spirit of friendly
competition, UAB faculty and employees were
allowed to register as part of a team representing their departments within the School of
Medicine and/or UAB Hospital. The Department of Medicine had more than 25 participants and was awarded a trophy which will
be passed to the department with the most
participants each year following the run.
Approximately 270 people registered for the
event, which raised more than $10,000 from

as AIDS Alabama, Be the Match, Shelby
Dermatology, 1917 Clinic, UAB Center for
Exercise Medicine, and a number of School
of Medicine medical interest groups offered
information, health screenings, and giveaways

43rd Annual University of Alabama Medical Alumni Association Weekend • March 4-5, 2016
Class Dinners, Receptions, Luncheons, Tours, Awards, and Lectures
CME Focus: Neurology and the Neurosciences
Mini Medical School Returns
Discover what medical school is like for today’s students at Mini Medical
School. Learn about the current curriculum from the medical education
leadership, experience simulation and other modern learning techniques and
technologies, and hear what students themselves have to say about their
training and new education initiatives in the School of Medicine.
“Attending Mini-Medical School gave me more insight into how the medical
school application process has changed. While the average MCAT and GPA is
about the same, the emphasis on volunteerism, research, and shadowing is
much greater now.” – Jorge A. Alsip, M.D. ’85, M.B.A., FACEP
Alumni Campaign Gains on Goal
10
Alumni support has the power to
transform the medical school experience for
students now and in the future, whether by
funding scholarships to alleviate financial
burden, supporting the school’s Learning
Communities initiative, or helping to
increase access to simulation training and
other new training enhancements.
At the 2015 Alumni Weekend in March,
Selwyn M. Vickers, M.D., FACS, senior
vice president for medicine and dean of
the School of Medicine, announced the
largest goal for alumni giving in the school’s
history: $30 million. Alumni have risen to
the challenge: More than 3,086 School of
Medicine alumni have contributed to the
$1 billion Campaign for UAB, bringing
total SOM alumni giving to more than $21
million since October 2008. Two-thirds of
those funds were directed by alumni to the
School of Medicine, and the balance was
directed by donors to other UAB programs
for which they feel a passion. The School
of Medicine continues to lead in overall
Campaign giving, which this September
topped $617 million. To date, 65 percent of
total Campaign funds have been contributed
by supporters of the School of Medicine.
John E. Campbell, M.D. ’70, a retired
emergency physician and former State
Medical Director of Emergency Medical
Services and Trauma, recalls the gratitude and
relief he felt at receiving a scholarship, which
inspired him to make a gift to the School
of Medicine Scholarship Fund. “When I
started medical school in 1966, my parents
were not financially able to contribute to my
education,” he says. “My wife was supporting
us and paying for my medical education on
a teacher’s salary. Without the scholarship,
we would have had to borrow the money, so
I am now giving back what was given to me
then.”
He also feels that, as a physician, he has
a particular duty to support the aspirations
of young people who want to follow in his
footsteps. “As a practitioner of an art, I feel
obligated to support that art,” Dr. Campbell
says. “The Hippocratic Oath requires that
we contribute to the education of those who
follow us.”

Fired Up
Medical student Jason Eversull blazed a trail
f ro m t h e f i re h o u s e t o m e d i c a l s c h o o l
Like many young boys, Jason Eversull had
a fascination with firemen growing up. As a
senior in high school he began volunteering
at the fire station near his home in the Rocky
Ridge suburb of Birmingham, which is where
he got his first taste of providing medical care.
“As a volunteer, you do everything regular
firefighters do,” Eversull said, explaining
that most of the calls firefighters respond to
now are medical. “I got a lot of on-the job
training—the paramedics will teach you
simple things like how to take someone’s
blood pressure, blood glucose, and put
someone on the cardia monitor. It’s a pretty
steep learning curve.”
After graduating from high school, he
began attending UAB while continuing to
work at the Rocky Ridge Fire Department.
Then he heard about a program through the
Auburn Fire Department that would pay
for college courses if you worked there as a
firefighter. Through this program, Eversull
was able to take many classes at Auburn while
also attending a local community college
to complete a two-year associate’s degree to
become a paramedic by the time he was 23
years old.
After earning his associate’s degree, he
learned of a new bachelor’s degree program in
emergency medical services at the University
of South Alabama. “The classes were on the
weekends, so I was able to work it around my
schedule with the fire department. I drove
to Mobile from Auburn every weekend for
about a year. At that time, I was probably
working 60 to 80 hours a week as a firefighter
for the City of Auburn and also a paramedic
for the ambulance service based out of the
hospital in Lee County.”
His work as a firefighter and paramedic
gave him a new perspective on the health care
challenges that rural areas face. “When you
think of underserved areas, you don’t think of
Auburn, but at that time there was only one
ambulance service, with about four trucks
and six paramedics serving the whole county
at one time. Running calls on the ambulance
really opened my eyes—people live totally
different from anything I’d seen growing up.”
In the midst of his busy schedule, Eversull
also got married. When his wife was accepted
in to graduated school at the University
of South Alabama, the couple moved to
Mobile. Once there, he joined the Mobile
Fire Department and took advantage of
some unique training opportunities. Eversull
explained that there are less than 30 Urban
Search and Rescue Teams across the U.S.,
and the only one on the Gulf Coast is run
through the Mobile Fire Department. “I
was accepted to that team and certified in
confined space rescue, rope rescue, high
angles, hazmat, and nuclear mitigation.”
Making a difference in people’s lives as a
firefighter and paramedic spurred his decision
to attend the School of Medicine, where he is
Mark Your Calendar for
now a first-year student. He also hopes that
he can one day expand the role of paramedics
as providers of primary and preventative care
to underserved areas. “I’d eventually like to see a practitioner
level paramedic—something comparable to a
nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant,” he
explained. Eversull shared that while servicing
rural areas, he and his fellow paramedics were
doing a lot of primary and preventative care.
On many calls he found himself thinking,
“Gosh, if I’d had seen you four or five months
ago and been able to take you to the hospital,
we wouldn’t have this really serious medical
problem. I’d like to be part of an effort to
maybe redefine what it is to be a paramedic
or EMT.”
