title: The tangled trail from Topeka to Houston: the Menninger Clinic-mid-1999 to mid-2003: a personal recollection.
abstract: This article traces many of the key events during the move of the Menninger Clinic from Topeka, Kansas, to Houston, Texas, and the affiliation with the Baylor College of Medicine and the Methodist Hospital in Houston. It is based on the personal recollections of John McKelvey, who was involved, in some form, in almost all aspects of the decision to move, the selection of the Houston location, the affiliation negotiations, and the final implementation of the relocation.
