Only a Game from National Public Radio’s WBUR in Boston recently covered the Woodsman’s Weekend competition at Dartmouth. At the event collegiate forestry teams competed in events based on lumberjack and woodcraft skills. The radio show featured Bernie Waugh playing the national anthem on a saw and Jim “Porkroll” Taylor head judge for the competition. Listen to the 11-minute radio spot at www.onlyagame.org/2009/05/saturday-may-30-2009. Jim also sent me an e-mail to remind me that the Dartmouth Outing Club’s centennial is this year. To celebrate the occasion the DOC is sponsoring “Appalachian Trail in a Day” on October 10, when DOC members and other Dartmouth volunteers will spread out over the 2,175-mile length of the trail and walk it on that Saturday. To find out more or to sign up to participate in the event, go to www.dartmouth.edu/~doc/centennial and follow the “AT in a day hike” directions. Celia and I are signed up to hike a segment of the trail in the mountains of western Virginia.
Ken Bernstein retired last year from Emory University in Atlanta as professor of pathology and laboratory medicine after 21 years and is now professor emeritus. Without missing a beat he moved on to become director of experimental pathology and staff physician in the departments of pathology and biomedical sciences at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ken is the only pathologist to win two international awards from the American Heart Association, the Novartis Prize in hypertension research and the Basic Science Prize. Ken graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth after three years and went on to complete his medical degree at the New York University School of Medicine. Ken and his wife, Ellen, have three daughters: Colette (21), Sabrina (19) and Daniella (14). Ken was unable to attend our reunion, but he sends fond regards out to our classmates, especially to his old buddies from Gile Hall.
In April the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) elected Freddie H. Fu, M.D., president at its biennial congress in Osaka, Japan. Freddie has been a member of the ISAKOS board of directors for 10 years. Freddie came to Hanover from Hong Kong. He studied at Dartmouth Medical School and earned his medical degree at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, where he has been professor and chair of the department of orthopedic surgery since 1997. Freddie did his residency and fellowship training at Brown, Pitt, the Hannover Trauma Center in Hannover, Germany, and in East Lansing, Michigan. He has pioneered numerous arthroscopic surgical techniques to treat knee and shoulder injuries. Freddie has been the head team physician for Pitt’s department of athletics for more than 20 years and was the founding medical director of Pitt’s Center for Sports Medicine. He is married to Hilda Pang Fu, a community leader, and they have two grown children.
