    <p>Reflecting on the history of our Journal brings to mind the image of a long relay race with batons. I am extremely proud to be a part of this history. It all started when Professor Carlos Carvalho encouraged the residents to write a review. Publishing in the Journal of Pulmonology was a dream of mine. I recall the day I received the letter notifying me that, after extension, careful revision to address the concerns of the reviewers, my article had been accepted. That day remains clear in my memory. What a joy it was to become a member of such a select group. The careful reader will soon realize that 25 years have passed since that fateful day.<sup>(</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B01">1</xref><sup>)</sup> The years rolled by; I became enamored with research, earned my doctorate, did my postdoctoral work in Canada, and began to publish in other journals. However, the Journal of Pulmonology continued to occupy a special place in my little library. One night, Dr. Pereira called me at home. The invitation to become the editor of the Journal of Pulmonology was intoxicating. I had lost track of the passing time, and I realized that it was now my turn to lead. I drove to Botucatu to learn everything I could from the distinguished Professor Thais Queluz. The experience that I accumulated during my fleeting tenure as Editor (2003-2004) was unique and had a significant impact on my life. I dedicated myself body and soul to my new job. During my time as editor, I realized just how many instrumental people there were and just how much potential the Brazilian Thoracic Society had. I got involved with all aspects of the Journal, from copy editing to the advertising and financial aspects, as well as the proofreading of the Portuguese, the translation of the articles into English. We also created bylaws for the Journal itself and modified the bylaws of the Society, as well as redefining the role and clarifying the functions of the Editor. The format of the Journal changed, as did its name. After an extensive survey of all of our associates, the Journal of Pulmonology became the JBP. Passing the baton to Professor Baddini-Martinez, who worked actively on the Journal during my term as editor, made me certain that our dear child would be well cared for and would continue to flourish. The current status of the Journal proves that I was right.</p>

      <p>A hist&#243;ria do nosso Jornal me remete &#224; imagem de uma longa corrida de revezamento com bast&#245;es. Tenho profundo orgulho de fazer parte dessa hist&#243;ria. Tudo come&#231;ou com o est&#237;mulo do Professor Carlos Carvalho para que os residentes escrevessem uma revis&#227;o. Publicar no Jornal de Pneumologia era um sonho. O dia que recebi pelo correio a carta de aceite do artigo, que foi precedida por uma minuciosa reformula&#231;&#227;o exigida pelos revisores, me &#233; clara na mem&#243;ria. Quanta alegria participar de t&#227;o seleto grupo. O leitor atento logo perceber&#225; que a&#237; se v&#227;o 25 anos.<sup>(</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B01">1</xref><sup>)</sup> Passaram-se os anos, me encantei pela pesquisa, fiz meu doutorado e, depois, meu p&#243;s-doutorado no Canad&#225; e passei a publicar em outras revistas. No entanto, o Jornal de Pneumologia continuou a ocupar um lugar especial na minha pequena biblioteca. Uma noite, o Dr. Pereira me liga em casa. O convite para ser editor do Jornal de Pneumologia foi embriagante. N&#227;o me dei conta que o tempo tinha passado e que agora era a minha vez de liderar. A experi&#234;ncia que acumulei na minha mete&#243;rica passagem como Editor (de 2003 a 2004) foi &#250;nica e marcou a minha vida. Peguei meu carro e fui aprender em Botucatu tudo que podia com a grande professora Tha&#237;s Queluz. Me dediquei de corpo e alma ao meu novo trabalho e, nesse per&#237;odo, percebi a grande quantidade de pessoas que fazem a diferen&#231;a e o enorme potencial de nossa Sociedade. Me envolvi com todos os aspectos do Jornal, desde a editora&#231;&#227;o, propaganda, financeiro, revis&#227;o do portugu&#234;s, tradu&#231;&#227;o para o ingl&#234;s, confec&#231;&#227;o de um estatuto pr&#243;prio para o Jornal e mudan&#231;a do estatuto da Sociedade, com defini&#231;&#245;es claras das fun&#231;&#245;es do Editor. O Jornal mudou de formato e at&#233; de nome. Ap&#243;s uma ampla pesquisa com todos os associados, passamos a nos chamar Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia. A passagem de bast&#227;o para o Professor Baddini-Martinez, que trabalhou ativamente durante a minha gest&#227;o, me deu a certeza que o nosso querido filho continuaria bem cuidado e crescendo. A hist&#243;ria hoje mostra que eu estava certo.</p>
