I can’t believe that 35 years have passed so quickly. Where has the time gone? You have
been an incredible boss and friend. You have led the society with grace and dignity over the
years. You are truly a legacy. As Sam Overstreet MD called Harry Lehman, and this goes for
you too, “You are a Gentleman and a Scholar”........ Congratulations and best wishes for a
job very well done and for a happy, healthy, peaceful and safe retirement.. Love & hugs,
Congratulations on your retirement. As you celebrate the
end of the “work-era”, you are embarking on a great
adventure, and the chance to enjoy fun all week-not just
weekends! Lelan, thank for your many gifts of leadership,
kindness, laughter, and magic!

It has been an honor to be a part of the Greater Louisville Medical Society with you at
the helm. Your kindness and pragmatism have been a guiding force for not only the
staff here at GLMS but the thousands of physicians who call Jefferson County home.
I wish you all the best for your coming years
of well-earned relaxation!

be missed but never forgotten.
