Mrs. Marianne Gaillard Faulkner of Woodstock, Vermont, at the dedication on October 5, unveiled the cornerstone of Faulkner House which is her gift to Hitchcock Hospital in memory of her husband, Edward Daniels Faulkner. The final plans for it are maturing rapidly and construction will begin in 1950 as soon as current building operations permit. In the meantime, five of the most modern and efficient kitchens and utility rooms are being installed to ease some of the overload on the existing plant. Gerald F. Wagner, Resident in Hospital Administration and a candidate for an M.S.H.A. at Columbia, is assisting Administrator William L. Wilson and Assistant Administrator Harold F. Callahan in the increasingly difficult task of keeping the hospital in supercharged operation while it is being disassembled for the insertion of these new parts.
1895—C01. H. Sheridan Baketel was retired on August 31 "by reason of satisfactory military service." He entered the Medical Reserve Corps as a Ist Lieutenant in 1912 and emerged from World War I, after thirty-three months of duty, as a Lieutenant Colonel in command of General Hospital 79. Promoted to Colonel in 1924 he had completed 37 years in the Medical Corps when his terminal certificate was issued.
1926—Horace Bolton Loder is practicing on his native heath at Bridgeton, N. J. Horace, one of the three Phi Betes in the class, after graduation from Johns Hopkins, returned to his second love, the Green Mountain State, and interned at the Mary Fletcher Hospital in Burlington in preparation for general practice in Brandon. When the Great Depression swept over Vermont it carried him back home where he joined the Pediatric Service of the Bridgeton Hospital. This made him a "specialist in contagious diseases" to Uncle Sam when World War II came, so contrarily he was assigned to straight and intensive Internal Medicine for four years, which he has been doing ever since. Bridgeton. only 38 miles south of Philadelphia and 50 miles west of Atlantic City, is Cumberland County seat on Cohansey Creek and on a good fall day in sight of Delaware Bay. Summer lingers late in South Jersey. When fall begins to pall, give Horace a call.
1905—Emery Moore Fitch of Claremont, New Hampshire, slipped on the wet ice as he left his office on December 29, 1948, and fractured his right hip. After nine weeks in Claremont General he returned to his home to convalesce, and is now able to get about somewhat on crutches and reminds his friends that Claremont is on the way to and from Hanover.
1931—If you get a chance to wander out California way this winter, you will find Phillip and Edyth Bassett at 823½ Coast Hiway in Corona Del Mar, and Alan and Fannie Beth Leslie have moved from Santa Monica to 4429 Kester in Sherman Oaks, California. This is a very modest zoom for a serious contender for the title of Class Globe Trotter.
1935—Winthrop and Sylvia Watts on March 17, 1949, began a little personal pediatrics with Winthrop Ford, Jr. at Marblehead, Massachusetts. Walter B. Crandell, Chief of the Surgical Service at the White River Veterans Hospital, has moved from the station residence to the old Grassland Stock Farm on the Lyme Road.
Richard W. Smith called us up the other night from Karnes City, Texas, where he is thinking of opening his office. We are curious to know what turn of the wheel would take a Worcester boy clear down into the San Antonio Valley.
1936—J. Ellsworth and Marj Cavanagh continue to have a good excuse to come up from Northampton to check up on Ellsworth, Jr., 1951, who is turning in a respectable card in the pre-medical sciences.
James F. Higgins, when last heard from, was planning to open an office on Long Island. His latest address is 64 James Lane in Levittown. We hope James Lane is not in the midst of that amazing maze.
John Figgis Jewett has opened an office for the practice of obstetrics and surgery in the Longwood Medical Building in Boston, Massachusetts, and is at home at 79 Harris Avenue, Needham.
Harold and Etta Crenstein are rejoicing in the birth of Robert Sanford on September 26 at Forest Hills.
Frank Walter Van Kirk, Jr. married Phoebe Ann Green at Janesville, Wisconsin on the 25th of September. They will be at home at 1827 Silverwood Terrace, Los Angeles.
1937—Commander Harry B. Eisberg MC USN, who has a desk in the Biodynamics Branch of the Research Division and in the Arctic and Cold Weather Branch of the Amphibious and Field Medical Division of the Navy Department, took time off during the last day of June to show the Dean the Naval Medical Center at Bethesda and also one of the places in Maryland to dine.
-—-j J. Allison Montague has appointments in Psychiatry at both New York and Columbia Universities. After completing Medicine at Dartmouth and New York University he interned in Medicine at French Hospital and then took five years of Psychiatry at Physicians and Surgeons and Bellevue, eighteen months of which was research in Child Psychiatry at the latter hospital. During the war he ran the Pediatric Psychiatric Clinic at Babies. Recently his interests have trended toward College Mental Hygiene which, at Washington Square, is now taking half of his time. The other half is spent in teaching and private practice.
Commander Francis G. Soule, MC USN, after almost four years in the Bureau and at Bethesda, is back again on the Pacific Coast at the U. S. Naval Hospital at Corona.
1938—Seymour Fiske Ochsner was in the fourth year of Medicine, standing 2d among thirty transfers, at Pennsylvania when in the autumn of 1939 he developed tuberculosis and was granted leave of absence. In November he went to Stony Wold at Lake Kushaqua, New York, for treatment. At first progress was satisfactory but in early 1941 some vertebral manifestations developed and for more than a year it was a steep uphill fight in a shoulder to hips plaster east. But the Ochsner spirit was triumphant and on 8 September 1945 Helen Keith Stade went into partnership with him. A year later after one of the longest leaves of absence on record at Pennsylvania he returned to School and took his degree on 18 June 1947. He returned to Stony Wold Sanatorium for a two-year residency and then, wishing to renew old ties and to show his three girls to the clamoring populace, he returned to Virginia for an appointment at Johnston-Willis Hospital where he now is. He is thinking about further graduate study perhaps in Radiology. Do not miss a chance to contact the Ochsners at Richmond.
1939—T. Richard Watson, Jr. concluded a year as Chief Surgical Resident at White River and went to the Veterans Hospital at Rutland Heights, Massachusetts where he will work under Dr. Dwight E. Harken.
George W. Zeluff ought to be in Houston at this moment if his plans worked out for an office and an affiliation at the Medical Center of Baylor University. George finished at Columbia and at the end of his internship, after a sample of Navy Medicine at Brooklyn, Troy, Bayonne, Norfolk and San Francisco, BUMED found out about his old record with the Barbarv Coast and assigned him to the tank 'landing barges of the Pacific Amphibious Force. After enough of that, he turned up as a Flight Surgeon which kept him occupied until he could get back to Bellevue on the Columbia Division under Dr. Dickinson Richards. Last June as Chief Resident he concluded his third year, and with Virginia Bruce, a daughter and a son. he started for Texas to settle down and become part of the new country.
