Class Note 1954
Issue
November-December 2020
President Shelly Woolf, along with Tony Kane and Herb Hillman, are planning a 2021 mini-reunion on campus with classmates arriving Friday, September 24, and departing Sunday, September 26. Twenty rooms have been booked at the Hanover Inn (at $399.) It is essential that you let Shelly know as soon as possible if you will attend. There is a home game on that Saturday, so space is going fast. Reach him at (508) 728-5757 or swoolf1060@comcast.net.
Anne George ’20, the John D. Pope ’54 John Sloan Dickey 2020 intern, writes: “The Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is a semi-public hospital that was created to provide a U.S. model of care to reduce the need for patients to travel abroad for complex medical needs. I worked as a research assistant to Dr. Ranjith Menon, a migraine specialist who had moved to the United Arab Emirates from the United Kingdom. He shared with me the learning curve he was going through. I was responsible for the retrospective analysis of how patients responded to one of the first preventives for migraine treatments. I would spend hours reading research articles, taking notes on patients charts, and googling medical jargon I had never been exposed to. I was asked to write a case study on a rare condition that causes arteries that supply blood from the heart to the scalp to become inflamed and constricted. I was also able to write three research papers that are now under review for submission to medical and neuroscience journals.”
Due to the fact that we will not have a fall mini-reunion this year, we could not present the intern award plaques personally to our 2020 interns. So we mailed each one of the interns their framed award plaques. In addition, full-size photos of the plaques were mailed to the three centers we work with: Dickey Center, Rockefeller Center, and Dartmouth Center for Service. We mourn the passing of our classmates Raymond Corwin, Edward Freedman, George Csiky,and Charles Roth.
