Center for Neuroscience and Regeneration Research. Dr. Waxman gave the first annual
lecture in Mrs. Walsh's honor as part of the program celebrating the 10-year partnership
that built and continues to support the center. The endowment was established through
a bequest from the estate of Mrs. Walsh, an advocate of research in spinal cord injury
who supported the work of the PVA, the EPVA and Yale for many years. Mr. Clarke,
grandson of the late Mrs. Walsh, was instrumental in creating the endowment and directing
the use of the funds for research in neurology at Yale. |

Last year Yale University honored
the executive director of EPVA by naming the James J. Peters Conference Room at Yale
in the PVA/EPVA Center for Neuroscience and Regeneration Research. The plaque that
commemorates the occasion reads: "Jim Peters is a repository of knowledge and
a source of inspiration. He is central to the battle against spinal cord dysfunction."
Center Director Stephen Waxman hosted a dinner at the Yale Club of New York in June.
