is also the founder and president of the Dr. Ralph R. Gregory Memorial
Foundation Canada.
Dr. Foran stated “My daughter Lauren was born one month after I
completed Part 2 so, as they say, life is literally what happens while you’re busy
making other plans. I dedicate this to her and my father.”

accomplishments.
