Dr. John Evans opened the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Clinic in 1959 and was the Director of this new Clinic until 1966. He was a champion and leader of excellence with visions and innovation, a man thinking of the big picture and figure, and a colleague with a balanced personality and great personal warmth. He will certainly be missed.
