Johnny Card, what’s happened to you?” The man was referring to my father. My dad introduced me to him as Dr. Curly

Ettinger, a physiology professor and Dean of Medicine. That chance encounter left me with a warm impression of Queen’s.

I don’t recall every detail, but it must have felt like a friendly, inviting spot. And so, Queen’s became the obvious choice—a
decision shaped by family history, the campus atmosphere, and a bit of serendipity.
