Letter from the Editor

As soon as Dr. Frederick announced his retirement last Spring, our office began planning a special edition of Howard Magazine about his work. To be clear, Dr. Frederick never said, “I want a special edition magazine all about me.” If anything, when told we wanted to produce this, he kept trying to re-direct us to focus on the office of the president instead. To him, the presidency does not start and end with one person, and it will continue even after that person leaves the position. However, we – and the entire Howard community and beyond – know that Dr. Frederick – a doctor, businessman, administrator, leader, parent – is someone who cannot be cloned, and that his story should be shared.
