Btw
I was saddened to hear of Russ Allison's passing.  I did consider him a good
friend and knowledgeable histopathology colleague, one of the great ones
left us in his passing.

Regards,
Patsy

Ps 
I saw Russ in passing at NSH in 2002, and although he did not recognize me
(I looked different that year since I had lost 50 lbs from a medical
treatment) he sent me an email as soon as we got home apologizing for not
recognizing me (I guess someone pointed that out to him) and seemed really
sharp for having recognized that he had made that mistake, I had no idea
that he was suffering from AD, I did miss seeing him at NSH the last few
years.

I don't think Russ can have had a "battle with Alzheimer's for 7 years". He
was in good mental condition in Nov 2001, as Jean Mitchell can also attest.
(I was at the same conference.) According to his IBMS obituary,
http://www.ibms.org/go/media-centre:monthly-comment, he was chairing one of
their committees until 2005.
