Right: The Army/Navy ri- valry was a big topic of the day and subject of this Laufer drawing. Laufer From Page 1A good use of his time and media of the day, making a name for himself with these works and others such as the “Golfer you have met.” All manner of sport drew his attention for which he reciprocated through his pen and ink drawings. He enjoyed meeting sports person- alities of the day and, as a media representative for leading daily newspapers, attended sports events to capture his unique view- point on paper. There are collectors today who cherish his work as well as that of other artists who plied the trade. While he wrote and drew using the name “Laufer,” back home in Our goal-oriented approach Minster he was known is to get you back home to leading to friends and family as the life you love, as quickly as possible “Woody.” When the Min- ster High School baseball team ran off a 60-game Daily Therapies win streak in 1931, it IN-PATIENT / OUT-PATIENT became the subject of a • Subacute Care Laufer cartoon, gaining • Orthopedic Rehabilitation national attention.
