Abstract
n December 28, 2014, the last of my trio of heroes in the pathology world passed away (1).Th is one-ofa-kind eccentric genius, so beloved by all who knew him, stood astride the world of ultrastructural pathology during its heyday in the 20th century like a colossus.Feroze Ghadially (Figure 1) was also my friend, and it is to this remarkable man, one of the preeminent pathologists of the 20th century, that I wish to pay tribute to with this personal remembrance.Dr. Ghadially was acutely aware of his own outstanding abilities and accomplishments and-refreshingly-was not shy about mentioning them.On the other hand, he was able to chuckle at his own idiosyncracies and eccentricities.His disarming ability to laugh at himself is refl ected in much of what I write here about his remarkable life and of our friendship of 40 years.Th is includes direct quotes of some of the funnier things he said during our many telephone chats; they are taken from notes made by me during these conversations.Th e enigma that was the brilliant, charismatic Dr. Feroze Ghadially is best understood by fi rst taking a look at the history of his earlier life and career-the years before I fi rst met him.Th ese anecdotes (and some from later years) are from a tongue-in-cheek biography of himself that Dr. Ghadially wrote, in the third person, for a monograph celebrating a decade of Killam Program laureates (2).I have placed the extracts from this biography (actually autobiography) in quotation marks. A REBELLIOUS YOUNG PRODIGY"Feroze Novroji Ghadially was born in Bombay, India, of Zoroastrian parents but, for reasons diffi cult to fathom, his birth was not registered" (3)."Ghadially's early school days at the St. Xavier's School were traumatic, largely because he refused to accept, without questioning, the printed word, religious dogma, and the rules and regulations which he considered were silly.When virtually daily caning failed to reform this obstinate temperamental rebel, his mother was asked to remove him from school.""Before he could get into trouble in the next school (Masters High School), an event occurred which was to transform his life-he encountered the textbook of Physics and Chemistry by Godfrey and Hodges.He still remembers the excitement with which he read and reread the book and tried to do as From

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
