Dr. Angela Baysinger was installed as president of the AASV during the Business Meeting at the AASV Annual Meeting on February 27, 2024 in Nashville Tennessee. Her recent passing results in a vacancy in the office of AASV President. In accordance with the Association’s bylaws, the immediate past president presides in the absence of the president. As such, Dr. Bill Hollis, AASV immediate past president, has graciously agreed to serve as acting president for 2024. He will assume all duties and responsibilities of the president effective immediately. Elections will be held as normal in early 2025. Please join me in thanking Dr. Hollis for his willingness to accept this responsibility, and I am sure he would appreciate your continued support.

This little piggy went to market, this little piggy stayed home, this little piggy had roast beef, this little piggy had none. This little piggy went … Wee, wee, wee, all the way home! Or did it??
Support the AASV Foundation – It’s the Wright thing to do!
As you will recall, Dr. KT Wright passed away late last year. Those of you that knew KT, will remember him as a staunch and active supporter of the AASV Foundation. KT was a tremendous believer in the mission of the Foundation and the obligation of all AASV members to use the Foundation as a mechanism to give back to the profession and support the next generation of swine veterinarians.

To the auction we will go

T’was the Night Before Auction
T’was the night before auction, when over the net All the members were bidding, even the vet; Two shotguns were propped by the chimney with care, In hopes that a pheasant hunt soon would be there. The children were nestled snug under their quilt;Beneath a print of Steel Cow’s latest gilt.With ma cooking bacon and Harker fruits about,We’d just started grilling Euro Nymphing-caught trout.When out of the Bose there arose such a clatter, Talladega wreck, all the cars had to scatter. Away to the cupboard I flew like a flash, To pour a drink from my Irish whiskey stash. I tripped over the pig sculptures standing so near Knocking both of the Sport Buds out of my ear. Reaching out for the Christmas tree to break my fall, I caused 2 pig ornaments to bounce off the wall. Watching the Packers causes oh so much tension Some folks insist I may need an Intervention. So, I climbed on the Peloton later that night Passing the time studying courses from FrontSight. I think to myself, as I down toffee by Nolan, “It’s important to bid so the Foundation keeps rollin’.”

The following story was shared with me by Sherrie Webb. It recounts a recent exchange between her 4-year-old son, Bennett, and his dad, Patrick, during a brief stop on their way to daycare. In Caseys, picking out a donut B: I want that one with sprinkles. P: You don’t like cake donuts. B: I’ll take that one with sprinkles. P: That’s a cake donut. B: I’ll try it. P: Ok.Back in the carB: Mmmm, this cake donut is good!P: So, you’re making a liar out of me?A little laterB: Dad?P: What?B: I don’t like it.P: Ha!B: I know I don’t like cake donuts, but my body makes me get them cuz I just love cake!Harry Snelson
