[sspielman]

Congratulations...Dr. Brooks holds class here..and we don't even have to pay tuition.....

[Pete Serotta]

Doctor Brooks, you are a gentleman and a scholar. (they do not always go together).

The word "gentleman" = a chivalrous, courteous, and honorable man. That is YOU!!!


Could not have been more deserved. Johnny, thanks for letting us know. PETE

[old_school]

Therefore the Sage embraces the One,
And becomes the model of the world.
He does not reveal himself,
And is therefore luminous.
He does not justify himself,
And is therefore far-famed.
He does not boast of himself,
And therefore people give him credit.
He does not pride himself,
And is therefore the chief among men.

Is it not indeed true, as the ancients say,
"To yield is to be preserved whole?"
Thus he is preserved and the world does him homage

Congratulations, dbrk! You should be very proud.

no way, the tie is perfect

[FMS_rider]

Congratulations! Rochester is one my almas mater --back in the days of Caspari, Vishniac, Muchmore, and Brown. I presume there are portraits of at least a couple of those guys on the walls of the Biology Dept by now.

Congratulations Douglas!

[CNY rider]

Good on you Douglas!

I suggest we celebrate.

How about a big cycling get-together at your place with a few dozen close forum-pals.........say July or so?

[merckx]

Heroes give us the momentum to find our own potential.
Thanks, DBRK.

[BumbleBeeDave]

What else is there to say? Yay, Douglas!

[H.Frank Beshear]

Congrats friend, you've earned the accolades.

[Jeff Weir]

The man gets my vote.

[jemoryl]

Hey dbrk,

I didn't know you taught at Rochester - congrats on the award from a former denizen of Hutchison Hall. I did my PhD with Jim Farrar so I spent a lot of time down in the basement. You might have seen my beat up Raleigh Gran Prix commuter bike if you around in the early '80s (or maybe my Zeus on the rare occasions I rode it to campus).

Joe

[Dr. Doofus]

congrats dr. brooks!

[blharrell]

Congratulazioni!!!
If you share your experiences as enthusiatically and openly with the students as you do with us, no one else ever had a chance.

Brent

[swoop]

Earning the praise and respect of your students is the highest compliment.
Congratulations!

Just out walking the dog. For the record, the Department web page picture is from 1986, the year I was hired at the University of Rochester. I'm more than a little embarrassed by being outed and for all of your kind words.

see you at the Ramble,

dbrk

[Gothard]

Congratulations.
Few of my professors were on the same "level" as us in med school. You are obviously relishing being among us, not above. Sign of a great master.

:beer:

[davyt]

Congratulations! You and your family should be very proud: I know that we are!

[Tom Byrnes]

Congratulations, Douglas.

This award is probably long overdue. Word has it that Douglas's classes have been filled to capacity, with a long wait lists for the past several years.

I am really looking forward to the Ramble.

Tom

[William]

Congratulations Douglas!!! :beer:


Now go ride yer bike. :bike:

Ok, people start a tribute thread and you reward them with a photo of your butt (and your dog's)?

It's a lovely honor to have from one's students and I'm sure that you're very rightly pleased.

Probably the only photo in which dbrk is ahead of Miraculous Mira, the Silken Windhound! :)

Mira's been clocked at 30mph in the driveway ---some will remember the driveway here is...long. I don't think I could get up to that speed on the gravel even on the 650B! And I'm also happy to say that she is doing pretty well right now. She has a degenerative endocrine disease that requires plenty of encouragement to eat. Besides, no one reallllly wants to see a picture of me. She's a beauty.

Yo PB, Not so easy bud.... You better come to the Ramble this year!

Sorry to hear that. Is she currently pretty stable? (I hope)

[fixednwinter]

Congratulations dbrk!

Mike Barry and I have talked about driving down to the Ramble this year, so I hope I get a chance to finally meet you. Mike B speaks very, very highly of you.

I like this picture better.

I'm sorry to hear about her problems and hope that she continues to do o.k.

I was a freshman at the U of R in 1986 - yikes. Totally missed taking a course with Prof Brooks unfortunately. Congratulations on the honor. The U of R might want to start a cycling program (club or team) considering they have one of the world's authorities of bike on their roster.

[julia]

i love that first picture, it is full of mood and atmosphere
