Abstract
It is a great honor to be selected as the 17th annual Delphine Hanna lecturer. To follow in the footsteps of so many distinguished scholars is a truly humbling experience. I must admit that I was both surprised and overwhelmed when Jan Rintala approached me last January, and since that time, I have endeavored to read, study, and think about the issues that challenge us—not only as kinesiologists but also as academicians. In doing so, I have attempted to carve out a topic that is mutually beneficial and timely for our consideration. By first turning my attention to Delphine Hanna's legacy, I was able to listen to her voice through historical writings, and this listening process led me to today's topic: The Next Generation: Our Legacy, Their Future.
