Dr. ItPF -- has a ring to it, no?

The defense was fine -- challenging, but generally went well.

I have to say that I made a good choice with Dr. Advisor. He always gave my work careful consideration. He was timely in his attention to my work and understood when my teaching and medical challenges slowed me down.

Dr. Advisor also figured out a good committee for me. They were thoughtful, polite and generous. I felt that their questions were fair and that they were honest questions not veiled attempts at criticism or 'you didn't do what I do -- why not?' questions.

and -- I left the room as Dr. ItPF, and that's what really matters -- no?
