What a wonderful way to honor someone you love.... -------------------------------------------- T H E I R M A M. P A R H A D P R O G R A M M E S - ABOUT Dr. Irma M. Parhad Irma M. Parhad, M.D., died on June 26, 1994, at the age of 46. Cancer cut short a highly productive career as a neurologist and neuropathologist. Irma M. Parhad, born in Mosul, Iraq, graduated from Loyola School of Medicine (Chicago) in 1973. She completed a residency in neurology at the Albany Medical Center in New York and subsequently trained in neuropathology and neurovirology at the University of Pittsburgh, the University of California (San Francisco) and Johns Hopkins University. In 1985 she was awarded an Alberta Heritage Foundation Medical Research Scholarship and initiated a program of research in neurodegenerative disease at the University of Calgary in Alberta. She founded and directed the Dementia Research Clinic at the University of Calgary/Foothills Hospital. Her work in the molecular basis of aging and degeneration of the nervous system flourished. She was an active member of the American Association of Neuropathologists and the Society for Neuroscience, and a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology. In 1989 she became a Medical Research Council of Canada Scientist and in 1992, Professor of Pathology and Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Calgary. By nature, Irma seemed incapable and intolerant of complacency. Her presence enlivened professional and social interaction. She influenced a succession of graduate students and set the teeth of not a few people on edge. Her energy and initiative led her to regularly adopt new methods in her research, and to break fresh ground both in professional and in extracurricular realms. She was a concerned and attentive physician to the patients in her clinic. She was assiduous in the details of running the clinic and in the day-to-day problem solving of her research laboratory. Her publications included molecular studies of neuronal aging and neurodegenerative disease as well as clinical and epidemiologic studies of aging and dementia in the Canadian population. She was a concerned and attentive clinician, and an innovative and energetic scientist. Her sometimes peremptory manner concealed a great generosity of spirit. She sought the genuine and the energetic in people, and she found fast friendships wherever she lived. Two small gardens, one in Baltimore and one in Calgary, came into being under her hand, and inspired others to emulation. After her arrival in Canada, she took up hiking, backpacking, cycling and cross country skiing on weekends. She had completed a 300-kilometer mountain bicycle trip just weeks before she was found to have metastatic cancer in June 1993. Her illness came too early in such a life, and she met it with tenacious courage and a kind of defiance. Within days after learning of her diagnosis, she had begun planning renovations of her cabin near the mountains; the renovations were completed in early September, in time for her to enjoy it. In the last weeks of her life, she was directing the design and installation of new cabinets in her home, and new additions to her garden. On June 26, 1994 Dr. Parhad died of cancer at age 46. She met her terminal illness with the same tenacity, wit, and initiative that she brought to her professional work. Throughout her life, her sense of purpose, her enthusiasm, and her inquisitive spirit were part of what made her unique. The Dr. Irma M. Parhad Lectureship was established in recognition of the potential for human development and achievement to be found in people from every part of the world. Among North Americans, Irma often stood out like cayenne pepper in a bowl of peas. There is no replacement for her sense of humor, her iconoclasm, her sharp tongue, her Iraqi élan. For those who knew and loved her, it will remain a question without any answer why her life was stopped so soon.
