Abstract
The founding and early years of the American Optometric Student Association (AOSA) are documented in this issue of Hindsight by Ray Myers and Ron Ferrucci. This author became involved in ASOA in February, 1981 as a trustee-elect from Indiana University and was elected its seventeenth president in January, 1984 at the AOSA Congress held at that time in Anaheim, California. This author’s following years of involvement in organized optometry resulted in his election to serve as president of the Wisconsin Optometric Association, as the youngest Trustee of the American Optometric Association (AOA) in 1994 and eventually the youngest elected AOA President in its history in 2001, which still holds today.
