Abstract
On December 28, 2014, the last of my trio of heroes in the pathology world passed away (1). This one-of-a-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. Figure 1. Dr. Ghadially at his electron microscope at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, circa 1980 (age 60). 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 reflected in much of what I write here about his remarkable life and of our friendship of 40 years. This 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. The enigma that was the brilliant, charismatic Dr. Feroze Ghadially is best understood by first taking a look at the history of his earlier life and career—the years before I first met him. These 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.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
