- Dr. Ghadially was one of this small group of gifted teachers who made pathology come excitingly alive for me. Two other pathologists who made an enormous impact on my surgical pathology career were John Frost and A. Bernard Ackerman, both now deceased. These two giants of the pathology world shared with Dr. Ghadially the unique ability to bring scintillating clarity to complex and confusing subjects. Frost, aided by his remarkable black-and-white drawings, conveyed in easy-to-grasp fashion criteria for malignancy in cytologic specimens. Ackerman brought logic and scientific rigor to the field of dermatopathology in his numerous writings, aided by incomparable photomicrographs and silhouettes.

(Dr. Ghadially was awarded the Canada Council for the Arts Memorial Prize in 1981. I was one of those asked to write a letter in support of his nomination for this prize.)
- Ghadially was born on November 13, 1920.
- Plans to emigrate to Canada went awry when the country entered a recession and the creation of new posts at all Canadian universities was frozen. It was at this point that I turned to the United States in my search for a position overseas, resulting eventually in my joining Baylor in 1976.
