Dr. Deschenes: It’s been really a fun ride. I’ve been very, very lucky. I’ve had a great life, a great working life. Really, I think it’s the most wonderful job there is, you know, to be invited in the most intimate parts of people’s lives. You know, it’s really quite a privilege. I never took it lightly, ever. And the long-term relationship with the patients and the families and, you know, watching them grow, from delivering this little girl in ’81 and then her baby in 2001 and, you know, I was getting to be a grandmother, in the early – in the two-thousands – way before I actually became a grandmother. Anyway, yeah, it was just, it was just great. I had a great time.
