The authors regret that the historical account of the last quarter century of the Central Surgical Association (CSA) included an explanation on page 626 of the Jeremiah G. Turcotte Award by the CSA Foundation, established in 2012 to honor the driving force behind the CSA Foundation and its first Secretary/Executor. Unfortunately, that explanation erroneously inferred that Dr. Turcotte had passed away. We wish to correct this misinformation and are delighted to report that Dr. Turcotte is alive, in good spirits, and resides in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dr. Turcotte sends his best wishes to all of his friends, colleagues and acquaintances in the surgical community. We deeply regret this oversight and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

I am indebted to the members for allowing me to serve as their president this year.
