title: The Lovelace Award presentation of the Society of NASA Flight Surgeons.
abstract: The following speech was presented at the Society of NASA Flight Surgeon's annual luncheon meeting on May 11, 1995 in Anaheim, CA. The Randolph C. Lovelace Award is presented annually by the Society. Stanley C. White, M.D., had a very distinguished career in Aerospace Medicine, including working with the Air Force's Man-In-Space and Man-In-Space-Soonest Programs, and, later, as the first Flight Surgeon assigned to the NASA Space Task Group. For these, and numerous other contributions, Dr. White was chosen to receive the Society of NASA Flight Surgeons' 1995 Lovelace Award at the 66th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Aerospace Medical Association. Dr. White, who was a personal acquaintance of Dr. Randy Lovelace for whom the award is named, then captivated the audience with a fascinating speech about Dr. Lovelace. Furthermore, he admonished us to remember the legacy of Dr. Lovelace and the many lessons his wisdom still teaches us today. The following is Dr. White's presentation.
