January 20, 2009  TARRANT CHAPTER TSPP NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OF JOURNAL CLUB  FOR JANUARY 21ST

Dear Members:

We were saddened today to learn of the passing of Jim Malone, M.D., retired Fort Worth psychiatrist.  We extend our deepest sympathy to his wife, Mabel, and his sons, Don Malone, M.D., and Gary Malone, M.D., and the Malone family.

Because Gary and Dr. Mustafa Husain of UT Southwestern were to have led our journal club article review and discussion on the subject of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), it was felt best to cancel the program, and an effort will be made to reschedule the event,tentatively on February 18th.

Dr. Jim Malone was a longtime practicing psychiatrist who had an eclectic andpsychodynamic style of practice.  Over the years, he held many leadership positions at several hospitals: St. Joseph’s, All Saints, and Harris among others.  All of us who knew him recall his forthrightness, wisdom, and perceptiveness.

Most of all, Jim envisioned the future growth of Fort Worth and its psychiatric community.  In 1980, he led others to begin a separate local chapter of organized psychiatry in the metroplex, apart from the North Texas Chapter, Dallas.  This became us, the Tarrant Chapter of the TSPP.  Thirty years later, we have 100 members and we are the 5th largest TSPP chapter.  Dr. Jim Malone was our original “Founding Father,” and we will always be grateful to him for that.

The Malone family will receive visitation Friday evening the 22nd, 6 – 8 PM at Greenwood.  Funeral services will be Saturday afternoon the 23rd at 3:30 PM, also at Greenwood.

Sincerely yours,

Dan Goggin, M.D

CANCELLED, to be rescheduled  Thursday evening, January 21, 2010   Tarrant Chapter TSPP   Officers’ meeting open to all.
