1940s Carlyle A. Luer, MD '46; Nov. '19 Aug. 23, 1922 - Nov. 9, 2019 Carlyle (Carl) Luer was born In Alton, Illinois, August 23, 1922, the son of Verna and Carl Luer. He was educated at the Western Military Academy in Alton and Washington University in St. Louis, where he received his medical degree from the Washington University School of Medicine in 1946. He served in the US Army from 1943 to 1946 as an enlisted reservist to attend medical school and from 1946 to 1950 as a Captain in the US Army Medical Corps stationed In Linz, Austria. After completing his residency in surgery from Washington University School of Medicine, Carl relocated his family to Sarasota in 1953, where his parents had moved following his father's retirement. In establishing his medical practice in 1953, Carl became the first Board Certified surgeon in Sarasota County. Carl was active in the community as a Director of Sarasota Little League, as an active member of the Kiwanis Club of Sarasota, and as a member of the Palmer Bank Board of Directors. After nearly 25 years as a highly respected physician, he retired from his surgical practice in 1973 to devote his attention to his second career, that of a world­recognized orchid biologist. By that time, he had already published two books on North American orchids: The Native Orchids of Florida and The Native Orchids of the United States and Canada Excluding Florida. These instantly became classics and they are still some of the most authoritative treatments of the US and Canadian orchid flora. Through his friendship with Marie Selby, one of Carl's patients during his medical practice, the concept of leaving her estate for the creation of a world-class research and public botanical garden was born. As a result, Carl was a co-founder of the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, served as Chair of its Board of Trustees from 1974-1979, created and was the first Editor of Selby's research journal, Selbyana, and described and illustrated more than 3,000 new species of orchids. His exceptional work has also been acknowledged outside of the Sarasota area, having received Adjunct Scientist appointments at the Missouri Botanical Gardens in St Louis. Harvard University in Cambridge, and the Kew Gardens 1n London, establishing important collaborations with the premier botanists in Latin America, and achieving the ultimate recognition for a botanist when he was inducted into the Linnean Society of London. Still authoring scientific papers until his passing. Carl is widely considered to be the most prolific taxonomist in the history of orchid research. 9r1 is survived by his loving wife of 74 years. Jane Pfeiffenberger Luer. He is also survived by a daughter Ann Skipper (J Ronald) of Sarasota, and sons Carl (Rosa) of Sarasota, William (Melissa) of New Orleans, George of Sarasota, and Albert of Melbourne, Florida. He is also survived by 12 grandchildren, Cynthia Gries, James Skipper, and Christopher, Amy, Dustin, Alexander, Katherine, Eric, Sara, Andrew, Jane, and William Luer, as well as 9 great-grandchildren. Plans for a Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.

John C. Lemon, MD '55, HS '58; Sept. '19 Jerry Lemon lived a long and wonderful life and on September 6th 2019, he pole vaulted to the other side. He was the only child of Virgil and Helen Brown Lemon. His character was forged during the Great Depression, which left its mark throughout his life. In high school, he took up pole vaulting and attended Oklahoma University on a track scholarship, finishing college in 3 years. He won the Pole Vault at the Texas Relays, using a bamboo pole, landing in a sawdust pit. He attended Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, and took an Internship at Denver General Hospital where he met nursing student Kaye Barnette, the love of his life. Kaye and Jerry moved back to St. Louis for Jerry's residency in Radiology at the renowned Mallinckrodt Institute. Avid skiers and outdoors people, Jerry and Kaye returned to Colorado as quickly as possible. Jerry served 2 years in the Air Force Academy. They had their first child, Kent, while living there. They moved to Denver where Jerry took a job at Mercy Hospital, practicing there for nearly thirty years. Kaye and Jerry added four daughters to their brood: Amy, Meg, Jane and Beth. Radiology allowed Jerry the joy of a long career of learning and teaching. In his later career, he taught Radiology at Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center where his daily interactions with bright, young doctors gave him a new love for medicine. He was a Clinical Professor of Radiology at The University of Colorado School of Medicine for 25 years. He retired from medicine at 81. Jerry pursued many dreams and made success of so many of them that he was known as a modern day Renaissance Man. His passions included oil painting, acting, opera singing, mountaineering, skiing, camping, and golfing. He was a voracious reader and towering intellect. He loved poker and despised board games. He had a brilliant mind and loved jokes, mirth, Buster Keaton, Shakespeare, PG Wodehouse, Verdi, Mozart, Monty Python, H.L. Menken, Spike Jones ,Margot Fonteyn, Kinky Friedman, Joaquin Sorolla, Gilbert & Sullivan, John Singer Sargent and William F. Buckley. These are, of course, the first few that came to mind. He could state opinions in 5 different languages. Nothing in life gave him as much joy as did his family. He was fond of saying that the best thing he ever did was marry Kaye. They were never happier than when surrounded by their 5 kids and 13 grandkids. Jerry spent the last 30 years being called "Bompy," by all who knew him, a moniker given to him by his first grandchild, Jack Bradley. Survived by his wife of 63 years, Kaye, his son Kent Lemon (Amy Donovan) and their children Jack, Carson, Wil and James Lemon, daughter Amy Olson (Bryan Olson), daughters Corinne and Madeleine Olson, daughter Meg Lemon (Josh Blum) and their children Jack Bradley, Sam and Cece Blum, daughter Jane Cowles (Chris Cowles) and daughters Abby and Sawyer Cowles, and youngest daughter Beth Ham (Brad Ham) and their children Beckett and Tate Ham, and his only sister (in-law) Therese Barnette and his niece, Lee Barnette Dombroski (Mike Dombroski). He is preceded in death by his parents, Virgil and Helen Lemon and brother (in-law) Leslie Barnette. Jerry died of old age, in his home, in his own bed, as was his wish. He was surrounded by his loving family and under the care of Hospice. Asked what he wanted said of him after his death he wrote years ago: "I am the luckiest man I know. I had Kaye and the kids, a profession that was fun, and an enjoyable life." We are grateful for his time with us. He left a legacy of gifts among his children and grandchildren including the ability to learn throughout life, pursue truth, remain daring, and follow our passions. His love of medicine and the arts created physicians, actors, artists, singers, athletes, acrobats, dancers, and skiers of us all.

Malcolm R. Lewis, LA '48, MD '52; Nov. '19 Nashville - After a long, rich and multi-faceted life, Dr. Malcolm R. Lewis passed away peacefully Monday morning November 18th, a few weeks before his 95th birthday. As a 19-year-old from Webster City Iowa, Malcolm served in the United States Navy in WWII as Electronics Technician Lieutenant 2nd class on an LST in the Pacific, returning after the war to college and medical school at Washington University in St. Louis, both his parents' alma mater. He there met and married Martha Newman Graef and started their family with Dick and Beth before moving to Chicago for an advanced fellowship at the University of Illinois, ultimately establishing life and his surgical practice in Martha's hometown of Nashville, where Cathy was born. Malcolm and Martha enjoyed 50 years of a loving marriage with the many blessings of sharing a full family life and unwavering commitment and love of each other. Throughout his surgery career, Dr. Lewis' professional leadership included serving as President of the Tennessee division of the American Cancer Society and Speaker of the House of Delegates in the Tennessee Medical Association. He was a thought leader in the medical community as an early advocate for car seat belts, promoting cancer research, and later in raising professional standards to reduce medical malpractice while serving on the board of State Voluntary Mutual Insurance Company and several HMOs. Whether in his private surgery practice or at the Baptist Wound Care Center, patients and families remember Dr. Lewis because of his attentiveness, compassion and skill, and younger physicians appreciated his thoughtful mentorship 25 years after his retirement. He characterized his patient care through God's trustworthiness to guide his decisions for each patient. Dr. Lewis served as a deacon and later as an elder at Woodmont Christian Church and as a Boy Scout leader in his son Dick's troop. After his retirement from surgery at age 70, Dr. Lewis served in several medical advisory capacities, as president of the Nashville Bonsai Society, president of Legend Hall Homeowners, and homeschooled 2 grandsons in science. His deepest commitment in retirement began by volunteering as a chaplain, then becoming a volunteer counselor in the Nashville Rescue Mission men's residential recovery program for nearly two decades. Five years after Martha's passing, Malcolm married Virginia Bradshaw, widowed since Bill's passing seven years prior. Their marriage of almost 15 years blessed them both and their families with love, humor and faithfulness, especially in Virginia's tender daily care throughout his declining final years. None could have foreseen or written such a kind, grace-filled closing season for Malcolm's life as a caretaker of others. Surviving is his wife Virginia Bradshaw Lewis; children, Malcolm Richard Lewis, Jr. (Melissa), Elizabeth Lewis Murphy (John), and Catherine Lewis Bristow (Rudy); grandchildren, Garland Lewis Reid (Richard), Elizabeth Lewis Arnold (Mike), Lillian Lewis Cullen (Harrison), John Robin Murphy, Jr. (Lindsay), Benjamin Lewis Murphy (Rachel), and Derek Keith Bristow; great grandchildren, Elizabeth Fielding Reid, Richard Lewis Reid II, Anne Lazenby Reid, Garland Elledge Arnold, William Michael Arnold, Elizabeth Paige Murphy, and Harry Holmes Cullen IV; stepchildren, Mary Catherine Bradshaw, Julia Gray Cole (Joey), Virginia Lee Dinker, Billy Lee Bradshaw, Jr. (Gina); step grandchildren, Novice Joe Cole III, Luther Alan Cole, Leah Caroline Dinker, Benjamin Cooper Bradshaw, Allie Dianne Bradshaw, and Samuel Guthrie Bradshaw; step great-grandchildren, Mary Charlotte Hatchell, Carter Leigh Cole, and Camilla Gray Cole.

Larry L. Weiss, HS; Nov. '19 WINSTON-SALEM, NC – Dr. Larry Lister Weiss passed away on Tuesday, November 12, 2019 after a long struggle with Alzheimer’s. Dr. Weiss was born in Ohio on April 11, 1929 to Lister Oliver Weiss and Edna Mae Fetzer, both schoolteachers. Lister taught in Akron, Ohio at Buchtel High School in the Mathematics Department and was often quoted by his many successful students as being their best teacher, giving his students a firm foundation that they used and appreciated. Dr. Weiss had a very successful life as a musician, musical conductor and doctor in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, as well as Lee, Massachusetts and Delray Beach, Florida. He initially graduated with a music degree from Wooster College in Ohio in 1952 and enjoyed and used music all his life. Dr. Weiss was once given a front page write-up in the Winston-Salem Journal about his life that was captioned “Doctor Sees Eye to Eye with Music in Winston- Salem”. In Winston-Salem, he was a church organist and choir director at Highland Presbyterian Church for many years. He also served as the musical director of the Winston-Salem Little Theater where he played the piano and directed the orchestra, producing many of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals to overflow audiences. During that same time, he was the rehearsal conductor for the annual Christmas production of the “Messiah”, usually given at Reynolds High School auditorium with 350 singers. Every year for 10 years, a prominent guest conductor was brought in for the final performance week of this production with name soloists. Dr. Weiss also worked with the choir directors of the National Cathedral in Washington D.C., the Westminster Choir School and the Chicago Symphony. Dr. Weiss started accompanying many singers over the years by working with John Stein at Akron University when he was in high school. By the time he was admitted to Wooster College in 1947, he was an extremely competent accompanist. While at Wooster, he befriended Robert Shaw, who conducted and produced the famous Robert Shaw Chorale. Dr. Weiss worked with Mr. Shaw on the B Minor Mass which was given at Wooster with full orchestra and chorus. Shaw asked Dr. Weiss to tryout and become his accompanist with the Chorale. Due to the Korean War, that career opportunity did not work out despite a very successful tryout before one of the piano teachers at Juilliard where Shaw was studying at the time. Following his military service, Dr. Weiss graduated from Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1956 and finished a residency in Ophthalmology at Washington University in St. Louis, MO in 1958. For many years, Dr. Weiss worked as an Ophthalmologist in Winston-Salem and was one of the first eye doctors to implant a lens in the eye after removing a cataract in North Carolina. Dr. Weiss is survived by his husband of 49 years, Jerry Bowles, whom he married in Massachusetts in September of 2008; three sons, Glenn, Tom and Jim Weiss; two sisters, Judy Cowell and Dorothy Follette; and many loving grandchildren, nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to The Little Theater of Winston-Salem, 419 N. Spruce St., Winston-Salem, NC 27101.

Peter Rosen, MD '60; Nov. '19 With great sorrow we announce that the father of Emergency Medicine, Peter Rosen MD, PhD. succumbed to congestive heart failure at the age of eighty-four on Monday, November 11th. He passed away peacefully at his home in the presence of his wife and youngest son. He is survived by: his wife of sixty years Ann; his four sons: Henry, Monte, Curt, and Ted; his four grandchildren: Matisse, Toby, River and Genevieve; his older sister: Suzanne Wolfe; her four children: Richard, Kenneth, Jessie, and Charles; and their many children and grandchildren with whom he was very close. Dr. Rosen was born on August 3 ,1935 in Brooklyn, New York to a general practitioner: Theodore Rosen and his wife Jesse Solomon Rosen, who passed away when Peter was eleven. Graduating from high school at 15, Peter's higher education began at age 16 when he entered the University of Chicago where he obtained a B.A. in 1955. During medical school at Washington University Medical school, in 1959, he married Helen Ann Ledford, a nursing student from Rolla, Missouri and fathered his first son. He finished medical school in 1960 and completed an internship at the University of Chicago Hospitals & Clinics in 1961 after his second son was born, and his father passed away. In 1965, he completed his surgical residency at Highland County Hospital, in Oakland, California where his third son was born. Dr. Rosen was inducted into the United States Army Medical Corps, serving U.S. forces who had been wounded in Vietnam in multiple Armed Forces Hospitals located in Germany. He was the attending General Surgeon, and Burn Unit Attending Physician from 1965 through 1968. After his honorable discharge, Dr. Rosen returned to the United States and relocated to Thermopolis, Wyoming where his fourth son was born. There, he was certified by the American Board of Surgery in 1969, and served as the Wyoming State Medical Association, Secretary/Treasurer, Counselor to State Medical Association, and belonged to the Northwest County Wyoming Medical Association from 1969-1971. He received his first of many official Honoria from the American Medical Association when he was given the Physician's Recognition Award in Continuing Medical Education in 1969. While acting as an attending physician in the Wyoming Community Hospitals he simultaneously staffed: Hot Springs Memorial Hospital in Thermopolis, Worland County Hospital in Worland, and Basin-Greybull Hospital in Basin, Wyoming, as the only practicing general surgeon in the entire region and establishing the first coronary care unit in Thermopolis. He also became the first patient there, in 1970 when he suffered his first and most debilitating heart attack at the young age of 35, which he survived but was forced to relocate his family back to Chicago, and accept an Academic position of Associate Professor in the Department of Surgery at the University of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics. From 1971 to 1977, Dr. Rosen was the Director of the Division of Emergency Medicine in the University of Chicago Hospitals & Clinics and the Attending Physician for the Burn Service. In 1972, he was named the Director of the newly founded Emergency Medicine Residency. Academic Emergency rooms were formerly staffed by untrained house staff, loosely supervised by attending physicians from other specialties, who despised the rotation, looked on it as an onerous duty that was a necessary evil to maintain their hospital privileges, instead of an opportunity to train new physicians with essential lifesaving skills. Due to the challenge created by the surge of Emergency Patients from a post war population boom, the advent of malpractice, which forced hospitals to support the development of better quality care in an area of the hospital that had always been neglected, and two large transportation disasters involving the Illinois Central train wreck and the United Flight 553 disaster at Midway Airport, Dr. Rosen was challenged to provide emergency services in high stress conditions. Emergency Medicine combined battlefield triage establishing care priorities to the hundreds of UHTBOU immediate need casualties detected and relayed by modern communication and transportation abilities found in all ambulance services, with all the surgical protocols and internal medicine procedures that were directly medically applicable in each case. The specifics of each case required responses to traumatic events affecting life and limb as well as medical conditions which may or may not have been long running health issues, and grounded these in an exact training of specialists who were prepared to see and care for a huge gamut of critical care needs presented in many patients at the same time. No other specialty was prepared in this manner for these acutely sick patients, except for the Emergency Medicine doctors that Dr. Rosen trained on Chicago's south side. These disasters resulted in hundreds of critically injured victims, which thrust Dr. Rosen into the forefront of emergency medical response. His successful outcomes to these accidental challenges were the foundation for the new medical specialty of Emergency Medicine. Emergency Medicine combined battlefield triage to establish victim-care priorities relayed to physicians by modern communication and transportation abilities found in all ambulance services and paramedical personnel, with all the surgical protocols and internal medicine procedures that were directly medically applicable to each case. The specifics of each case required responses to traumatic events affecting life and limb as well as medical conditions which may or may not have been long running health issues, and grounded these in an exact training of specialists who were prepared to see and care for a huge gamut of critical care needs presented in many patients at the same time. No other specialty was prepared in this manner for these acutely sick patients, except for the Emergency Medicine doctors that Dr. Rosen began training on Chicago's south side. Other cities quickly followed this model and the modern trauma center was born. His vision of a new academic specialty, his scholarly work, and the foundation of the Chicago program gave him national visibility and drew young doctors from around the country, eager to train under him. The awards he garnered at that time portray the story of his innovation. He received a Plaque dedicated to the University of Chicago Hospitals and Clinics for services rendered in the Illinois Central train crash; awarded from the American Hospital Association to Peter Rosen, M.D. as Director in 1973. He was awarded: a Recognition Plaque as an Editorial Board Member of JACEP/Annals of Emergency Medicine from 1974-1982; an Award of North Carolina Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians in 1976; a Certificate of Appreciation for Outstanding Contributions for the Betterment of the Field of Emergency Medicine from the American College of Emergency Physicians in 1977; the Silver Tongue Debater Award from the Society of Teachers of Emergency Medicine Debate at the American College of Emergency Physicians National Scientific Assembly in 1980; and the James D. Mills Outstanding Contribution to Emergency Medicine Award from the American College of Emergency Physicians in 1984. These awards are viewed as merit badges by most EM physicians, except for the last one that is seen as having national recognition and is prestigious, thereby cementing Dr. Rosen's reputation amongst his peers as being the founder Emergency Medicine. In 1976 after starting a successful Emergency Medicine Resident program in Chicago, Dr. Rosen was hired by the City of Denver to revise another Residency program in the Denver Health Care System at Denver General Hospital. Dr. Rosen merged the two programs at Denver General and St Anthony's hospitals, doubled the size of the student residents, recruited an academic faculty, and designed a curriculum that has been emulated by countless programs since. He was first named as Director of the Emergency Medicine Residency Program at Denver General Hospital/St. Anthony Hospital Systems/St. Joseph Hospital in 1977, while also being named Director of the Division of Emergency Medicine in Denver City Health & Hospitals, and Emergency Medicine Medical Advisor to the State of Colorado. At first, a two-year residency, Emergency Medical training quickly became a three-year program, taking Residents through the process that Dr. Rosen had pioneered. He was reappointed Director of Division of Emergency Medicine in Denver City Health & Hospitals and Deputy Manager of Medical Affairs in Denver Department of Health and Hospitals in 1986 and 1987, continuing his training of hundreds of new Emergency Medicine Specialists who carried on his academic program of training and teaching across the nation, including his eldest nephew Richard Wolfe, who completed his residency at Denver General and took over its direction when Dr. Rosen left in 1989. According to Dr. Wolfe: "There were a lot of more prestigious graduates than I who also took over his textbook: Robert Hockberger, Chair UCLA Harbor; Ron Walls, COO Brigham and Women's Hospital; and John Marx, Chair of Carolinas Medical Center. The Emergency Medicine Residency that Dr. Rosen developed included writing the textbooks used by his students as well as the research regimen to actually do the science required to both document the specialty and write up in the textbooks. He wrote and edited his first textbook: Case Reports in Emergency Medicine from 1974-1976, with George Sternbach, first published in Westport, Connecticut by Technomic in 1977. The second book entitled Protocols for Prehospital Emergency Care published by Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins in 1980. Then Emergency Medicine: Concepts and Clinical Practice, the textbook that garnered him national recognition and has been reprinted in newer editions ten times, published first by Mosby Company in 1983. He co-wrote twenty other books related to the specialty of Emergency Medicine as well as contributing chapters to more than thirty other books as well. He wrote hundreds of articles, gave hundreds of visiting professor lectures, and performed almost twenty site visits as an expert consultant to trauma centers around the country, where Emergency Medicine Residencies were implemented. In 1989, Dr. Rosen was offered a job at the University of California at San Diego, where his eldest two sons graduated from Revelle College, a fact he boasted about during the job interview which he claimed helped him win the position. He was hired as the Director of Education in the Department of Emergency Medicine at UCSD Medical Center. He was also hired as a Base Hospital Physician, the Assistant Director for the Department of Emergency Medicine, and as the Medical Director of the Life Flight Air Medical Service for the UCSD Medical Center. In 1991, he was named Director of the new Emergency Medicine Residency Program in the Department of Emergency Medicine at UCSD Medical Center, San Diego, California, which he ran until 1996, and as Co- Director until 1999. Also, during this time, Dr. Rosen was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in 1993, serving as Chairperson for the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on the Heimlich Maneuver and Its Appropriate Use in Near-drowning. He served on the Membership Committee from 1995 to 1997 inviting other scientists to join the IOM and National Academy. In 1997 he was the Chairperson on the lOM's Committee on Chemical and Biologic Terrorism: Research and Development to Improve Civilian Response, and in 2003 until 2005 he served on the lOM's Committee on Recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control for Smallpox Vaccination Implementation, both of which submitted books to the CDC and Congress on bioterror and smallpox vaccinations. In 1998, Dr. Rosen purchased a second house in Jackson, Wyoming. However instead of retiring and using it for a vacation residence, he continued to work and teach there as well as San Diego. He was appointed as an attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at St. John's Medical Center, which he continued until 2011. After leaving UCSD in 2000, Dr. Rosen chose to work for his nephew Richard Wolfe, in a reversal of their roles from Denver, and he began as an attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. In 2002 he was given the academic position of senior lecturer in the Department of Medicine at Harvard Medical School also in Boston. And in 2003 he also began teaching as the attending physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, as well as acting as a visiting professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at the University of Arizona School of Medicine in Tucson, Arizona, where he permanently relocated after leaving Jackson Hole in 2011. While still teaching and practicing Emergency Medicine in Boston he was invited to be the Chief of Test Committee by the Universities of Florence, Pisa and Sienna, Italy, in 2004. He traveled to Florence periodically to teach and act as the administrator of their Residency Test at Careggi Hospital on the University of Florence, in Italy the subsequent three years. He returned to Tucson after each engagement and began to feel at home in the desert, but despite his regular tennis lessons, clinics, and matches his health began to fail. In 2013, in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Washington University of St. Louis, he was granted an honorary PhD in Science, giving the Keynote Address at his 40^ Medical School Reunion held at the University of Missouri Kansas City in Kansas City entitled: Reflections on Emergency Medicine. He also received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association University Chairs of Emergency Medicine in April 2014, which was his final of seventeen awards, that began so long before in 1969. Dr. Rosen continued to work despite his ill health, consulting with a Foundation that fostered Academic Emergency Medicine by granting scholarships to young physicians to pursue valuable lines of research in the specialty. He worked until the day he died, despite three weekly dialysis sessions, making podcasts, writing and editing journal articles, and conferring with colleagues about tricky cases. He had an active mind that never faltered from age or disability despite his increasing frailty and lack of mobility. In a public post on social media, Dr. David F. Brown, M.D., MGH EM eulogized Dr. Rosen as: "...a visionary leader and the founder of the specialty of emergency medicine, advocating for recognition of its value as a clinical discipline long before there were academic departments, research programs, textbooks or board certification in the field. He devoted his life to creation of our specialty and all of us who now practice and teach emergency medicine owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. In the course of his impactful career, Peter created three residencies in EM, first at the Univ of Chicago, then at Denver General, and finally at UC- San Diego. He was the founding editor of what will always be known as the Rosen Textbook of Emergency Medicine, the first textbook written by emergency physicians for emergency physicians, the tenth edition of which is now being created. He was the founding editor of the Journal of Emergency Medicine. He has written innumerable manuscripts, chapters, and textbooks and delivered hundreds of grand rounds talks and keynote addresses. He has had major influence on nearly all the leaders of our specialty in the past two generations..."

D. Reid Tickle, HS '60; Dec. '19 Dewey Reid Tickle, MD, 90, of Wilson, died Saturday, December 14, 2019. A graveside memorial service will be held on January 11, 2020 at 11:00 AM at Maplewood Cemetery in Wilson to celebrate his remarkable life and many fond memories. Dr. Tickle, a devoted husband and loving father, is survived by Chris, his wife of 65 years; daughters Sally (Butch) Gudger, Jenny (Steve) Hufford, Libby (Peter) Fozzard and Susan (John) Hamilton as well as ten grandchildren, John, Drew, Reid, Allen, Madison, Virginia, Caroline, Sarah, Reid and Emily and two great grandsons. He was preceded in death by his parents Bob and Fannie and his twin sister, Marian. Reid was born in Burlington in October 1929. An enthusiastic high school student and athlete, he went on to attend Duke University for both undergraduate and medical school, completing his studies in 1954. It was in March of that year that he and Chris were married. After serving as a doctor in the Air Force, Reid and Chris moved to St Louis for a residency in radiology—which was something of an emerging medical specialty at the time. He was once introduced in the hospital as "the man who fixes the radios!" Reid's practice took him and his family through Tulsa, OK, Charlotte, and eventually in 1965 to Wilson, their home ever since. Ever diligent in his profession, Reid was constantly studying the latest advancements in radiology from X rays to CT scans and MRIs. He served as chief of staff for Wilson Memorial Hospital before retiring in 1998. Despite an exterior sometimes described as gruff, to those who knew him best, Reid possessed a wry sense of humor and a huge heart for his family and friends, as well as strangers in need. He was a man of the highest integrity and deep personal conviction to do "the right thing" without regard for the opinions of others. Possessing a keen intellect, he was always the first draft pick for family games of Trivia at Atlantic Beach, his favorite spot and a haven for beloved golden retrievers and wonderful family beach vacations for many years. In lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to First Presbyterian Church, 414 Sunset Rd NW, Wilson, NC 27893. Published in The News & Observer on Jan. 7, 2020
