Conner Miles Moore ’60
Conner Miles Moore ’60, M.D, passed away peacefully at home on December 26, 2020, in the company of his loved ones. He was born on June 24, 1938, in Detroit to Jane and Robert Moore. The family moved to Larchmont, New York, and he graduated from Mamaroneck High School in 1956. At Dartmouth he was a member of Sigma Chi and on the staff of WDCR. He graduated with a major in chemistry in 1960 and with an M.D. from Cornell Medical School in 1963. His internship was at Boston City Hospital, where he met a nurse from Canada, Wendy Budge, who became his wife of 56 years. While serving in the U.S. Air Force at Andrews Air Force Base from 1964 to 1966, he became a pediatrician and did his final training at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. Weary of urban life, he moved his family to Saco, Maine, where he would live the rest of his life. He joined a small group practice in 1968 and went solo in 1978 in Biddeford. During the course of his 40-year pediatric career, he was fascinated by the changes in medicine and the peculiarities of rural living. He wrote it down in his 2010 autobiography, Black Bag to Blackberry. He served as the medical staff president at Southern Maine Medical Center. He is survived by Wendy; sons Christopher ’88, Michael, and David; and grandchildren Alice, Henry, and Annabel.
