The annual Sir James Saunders Society luncheon has grown to become a highlight of the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, attended by dermatologists and friends. There are both social and educational aspects of the luncheon. It provides an opportunity for admirers of the great detective to gather and discuss his stories and toast Holmes, Watson, and villains, as well as other heroes from the stories. Examinations are given each year over assigned reading material, and appropriate awards are made. In addition, scientific papers based upon the Holmesian Canon are presented. past luncheons: (click on year for more information) 2007 Washington DC 2008 San Antonio 2009 San Francisco (reorganization meeting: no luncheon)
