KAUFMANOr cramming in sex, or car chases, or guns. Or characters learning profound life lessons. Or characters growing or characters changing or characters learning to like each other or characters overcoming obstacles to succeed in the end. Y'know ? Movie shit."

Kaufman is sweating like crazy now. Valerie is quiet for a moment - from "Adaptation".


Such a important post, thanks! We need more films like this. Been following your posts on miss lovely since you broke the teasers and finally saw the film in mami. Was breathless afterwards. You can just feel how new and exciting that movie is if you love good cinema. Caught up with Theseus too and felt so alive knowing we now have multiple films that I can call my own.

Welcome to the Dr. E. Burke Evans Memorial page. Here we have collected tributes, memories, comments and a gallery that touch on just a small part of what made Dr. Evans and important part of UTMB, Orthpaedics, and the Galveston community.


It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you the news that longtime facultymember, Dr. E. Burke Evans, Professor Emeritus in the Department of OrthopaedicSurgery and Rehabilitation, passed away this afternoon. Dr. Evans was holder ofthe E. Burke Evans Chair in Orthopaedic Surgery, and was known worldwide as an authorityon cerebral palsy and on the orthopaedic management of patients with severe burns.He remained very active as a member of the faculty and as recently as last weekwas providing insightful advice and support.


Dr. Evans joined the UTMB faculty in 1953 andled the Division of Orthopaedic Surgery for 25 years. He was named The Ashbel SmithProfessor of Surgery in 1991. Dr. Evans was honored for his distinguished career withthe John P. McGovern, M.D. Award in Oslerian Medicine in recognition of his compassionatecare to patients. His generosity touched many areas of the university and the Galvestoncommunity. He was honored with The E. Burke Evans Plaza on campus bearing his name, andreceived the 18th annual Leonora Kempner Thompson Community Enrichment Award in recognitionof his extensive artistic and historic contributions to Galveston.


I first met Dr. Evans when he repaired my mother's broken hip - and then again, when he repaired her second hip fracture. He was a kind, intelligent, and caring physician to a woman he had never met before. I then was fortunate enough, as a faculty member, to be the beneficiary of his philanthropy when I was appointed as the Betty Lee Evans Distinguished Professor in Nursing. I was always so impressed by how he valued nursing and his interest in everyone he met.


I guess I have known Burke for about 25 years, first through my work with Dave Simmons, and then through our mutual interest in burn patients at Shriners. We always had lively discussions with Burke always acting as a gadfly. Through all these conversations it was always clear that he had an incisive mind and was always pointing out weaknesses in my hypotheses. I always had to be on my toes when discussing things with him. We also both had an interest in the arts and both of us, at least for awhile, were members of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston. This gave an added dimension to our periodic conversations, which were always lively. Finally, we both served on the Orthopaedics Research Committee, where his input always gave us a sense of perspective. I was in China when Burke passed away. I read the email from Cary Cooper in utter disbelief. I could not imagine a time when Burke would not be with us. And it does occur to me that even though he is no longer physically with us, his personna will never leave UTMB.


When I came as a young pathologist to UTMB in '77, I was impressed with Dr. Evans' ability to cross department lines in the cause of learning and stimulating academic progress. He often used his extensive connections to bring in world class bone experts for lively and friendly exchanges of ideas. I only later came to know him as an East End neighbor, and to realize his considerable contributions to community life. He will be sorely missed at the school, and on the island.


Dr. Evans and I have known each other for over thirty years, ever since I was the Administrator for the Department of Surgery in the 1980s. He was my mentor, colleague, friend, and consultant for all these years. He taught me many lessons that have benefited my career, my social life, my culinary skills, and my appreciation of arts and culture and history. His influence on me has been remarkable and sustaining, and I am forever grateful to have known him. I am honored that we have been friends for so many years.

Burke was the first who helped me to appreciate cooking. He was the first who taught me how to make salad dressing from scratch. I learned from him that food tastes better when served on heated plates. It was a joy to watch him cook in his kitchen and I learned many of my cooking skills from him.

He gave me the best professional advice that has served me very well for many years. He told me that as long as you keep in mind what the other person wants, you will do well.

Even though I have left Galveston for many years, we have managed to stay in touch and our social visits were always memorable. He was very generous in sharing his friends and I have met many fascinating and accomplished people. He was most generous with his time and professional consultation when on occasions, my elderly parents had orthopedic problems. He introduced me to several artists that I have never heard before. My small art collection was enriched by his introductions.

Burke was such a supreme person in his kindness, generosity, and smart no-nonsense approach, I often cited him as an example for me and my friends as to what we should do with a problem.

He was an Angel in my life and I will always miss him.


I had known Dr. Evans since I started at UTMB in 1970. Had the pleasure of working with him in the OR. Even when I retired in '07, and didn't see him as often, whenever our paths crossed, he never failed to say hello. Such a wonderful soul. I will also miss his "little white jacket" which he always wore.


Dr Evans hired me as a junior faculty fresh out of my residency. He was my surrogate father. He treated my wife and children as if they were his own family. Two favorite memories: First, Saturday morning round when the residents presenting to him were more concerned about appropriate grammar and syntax than Orthopaedics. Second, his listening to patients proclaiming a litany of complaints, mostly hypochondriacal, then his taking their hand, looking into their eyes and saying, "I understand." I wanted to be the physician that he was, but never quite made it.


I share the sentiments of hundreds of orthopedic surgeons and thousands of patients as I morn the loss of this great man. He greatly influenced my career choice and was constantly supporting me as I moved through this career. His kind demeanor sometimes masked his toughness and resolve, but there was never any question of his selflessness and dedication not only to his profession, patients, and students but also to his community. To say he will be missed is a massive understatement.


Class of 1996. Like those who posted before me, I cannot give enough credit to Dr. Evans for the influence he has had on my life and career. He was an amazing man, physician, and mentor, but the most extraordinary thing about Dr. Evans was his humanity. He genuinely cared for and took an interest in all the lives of those individuals who passed through the orthopaedic program at UTMB. Personally, he made me feel like a part of his family. He was also a good friend. I will miss him a lot. Thank you Dr. Evans.


Dr. Evans was an "extraordinary" man! He was an amazing mentor, physician, colleage and human being. I remember my interview at UTMB and was so impressed with his interest in us as individuals and for all of the resident's pictures on his office walls. He was a tremendous influence on me during residency and during my 18 years as an orthopaedist. I know he is gone, but he will always be there peeking over my shoulder. Thank you again Dr. Evans for everything you have done for me and countless others!


Dr Evans was a major force in my life and I credit him for much of who I am today.

I will remember him for his "swagger" (remember how he walked or sashayed through the hospital corridors?). I also remember him as a friend to all. I recall a gaggle of nurses arguing about the color of one of their dresses and they sought out our wordsmith and leader for advice. "Dr Evans, what color is this dress? The man glances over and says without a pause, "why that's taupe" and saunters off down the hall. My group of residents (95) liked to have a traditional "search for the worm" tequila party and all faculty were invited and, Dr Evans, was the only one to attend.

He even drank the obligatory shot at the front door (required for admission, although we would have waived it for the Chief). He also looked after us after we graduated. Once at Academy, he patted my expanding waistline and curtly said, "watch your weight". Dr Evans will be in my heart always.


I am very sad to here that Dr. E Burk Evans has pass on.. We were friends for 37 years, I enjoyed working for him and just totally enjoyed his friendship. Such a kind ,caring person .I will truly miss you my friend...


Lumps at Boat Club 1990: The graduating residents were passing out lumps with outrageous hilarity. I was just a young first year resident, three sheets to the wind and laughing uncontrollably at the jokes the chiefs were making at the expense of the faculty when all of a sudden I realized I probably shouldn't be laughing so loudly and conspicuously. I did, after all, have to spend the next several years under their authority. At that moment I happened to look over at a man lying on the ground laughing so hard that he had tears running down his face. Of course it was Dr. Evans! He was so delightfully human! From asking the little old ladies on Saturday morning rounds what was their specialty dish when they cooked to teaching the nuances of tissue handling that we didn't get from the younger faculty, Dr. Evans epitomized the term physician. I know we are all much better humans by being woven from some of Dr. Evans' fabric! Thank you Dr. Evans.
