Edward J. O'Connell, MD: Giants in Allergy-Immunology

As my sixteen year tenure as Editor-in-chief of the Annals of Allergy Asthma and Immunology draws to a close, I am reflecting on the challenges, victories and failures that have occurred that shaped the journal and the impact they had on me personally. Looking back, I can think of no greater impact on this process than the privilege I had to know and work with my editorial predecessor, Edward J. O'Connell, MD . To know Ed was to love and respect him. If he knew this tome was going to be published as a “Giants in Allergy-Immunology” feature, I strongly suspect he would blush and protest that he was no giant – just a simple allergist from Minnesota.
