The authors thank Dan Caplan and Harvey Sharp for sharing their archives and memories with us. Comments on the development of hepatology were taken directly from Harvey Sharp's and Deirdre Kelly's summaries. The information provided was invaluable. We also thank Salvatore Auricchio, Richard Hamilton, Jean Rey, Arnold Silverman, Phil Sunshine, Jarmo Visakorpi, Dick Grand, Larry Finberg, and Dick Stiehm for critically reviewing the text. In a brief review of this sort, we have tried to cover areas of development but cannot include all details. Please accept our apologies if something that individual readers deem important was excluded.
