— 2011 PVM Report — 3 Veterinary Medicine Family Style

The phrase, “Purdue Veterinary Medicine family” has a very literal meaning for some graduates of the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine. Over the years a number of second generation veterinary students have followed in their parents’ footsteps, while others share Purdue Veterinary Medicine ties as brothers and sisters, or spouses. The following stories give a personal look at a few of these teams of Purdue veterinary alumni, revealing how they have car- ried the concept of the Purdue Veterinary Medicine “family” far beyond the walls of Lynn Hall. by Kevin Doerr The Coolman Story When Dr. Roy Coolman completed veterinary school as a Meantime, Roy and his long-time business partner, David, member of the Class of 1965, he and his classmate and soon-to- were working on arrangements that would enable Bradley to be business partner, Dr. David Thoma, were focused on starting come on board. “It was always his decision whether he would their own veterinary practice in Fort Wayne.

His family was on hand for the Awards Celebration held established himself as his own person. The wisdom of that during the annual Purdue Veterinary Medicine Fall Conference. approach became evident as Bradley did join the practice. The gathering of family on that occasion reflected the Coolman’s longstanding family approach to veterinary practice—one in which quality relationships are paramount. Roy’s son Bradley remembers that he was considered the most likely one of his siblings to follow in his father’s footsteps. “I was most apt to go to the clinic with Dad, whether just tagging along or spending a day off of school with him,” recalls Bradley. “Mom’s first recollection of my interest in a veterinary career dates back to when I was in the 8th grade and the goat I was rais- ing for my 4-H project died. She remembers me saying that ‘if I was a veterinarian, that would not have happened!’” Being sensitive to their children’s interests without push- ing them in a particular direction was very important to Roy and his wife Nancy. Roy remembers, “When Bradley decided to go to veterinary school, he expressed interest in coming back to our practice, but it was always his decision. No pressure.” Bradley says his ultimate goal definitely was to come back to Fort Wayne to practice with his Dad. But he knew that when he did that, he would stay in Fort Wayne, so taking advantage of chances to see and experience other opportunities had to come first. After earning his DVM degree at Purdue in 1992, Bradley completed an internship at Auburn University, and then served three years in the Army, working with the military police dog pro- gram. Knowing that time was marching on, and realizing that the opportunity to work with his Dad would not last forever, Bradley (left-right) Dr. Bradley Coolman and his mother, Nancy Coolman left the military and enrolled in a surgery residency at the Univer- with Distinguished Alumnus Award recipient Roy Coolman sity of Illinois. and PVM Dean Willie Reed.

The Haviar Story For David and Kathleen Haviar, the concept of a “veterinary family” was very real from the moment their children could walk. “Our first clinic was attached to the house,” recalls Da- vid, a member of the Purdue DVM Class of 1975 who settled in Rocky Hill, Conn., near Hartford. “When Dr. Jason Haviar and his father, you opened the door to the kitchen, Dr. David Haviar, celebrate you would walk right into the clinic with Dr. Kristin Haviar on the occasion of her graduation from reception area.” Consequently, as soon veterinary school in 2007. as their children, Jason and Kristin, began walking, they could find their way into the Animal Hospital of Rocky Hill.

— Veterinary Medicine Family Style — 7 Purdue Veterinary Technology Family Like Mother, Like Daughter

Purdue Veterinary Technology Program alumni share “family” connections, too. A member of Purdue’s first class of Veterinary Technology graduates, Sandy Dillard, RVT, (PU AS-VT ’76) is both the mother and colleague of Shawn Phelps, RVT (PU BS-VT ’02). “I’m very proud of her,” Sandy says. “I love the pro- fession and was happy to bring her into it.” Shawn remembers that her family always had a lot of pets while she was growing up in Speedway, Ind., so it was natural for her to want to find a career that involved working with animals. “I knew my mom enjoyed her work, and when I got the opportunity to work at her clinic during high school, I realized that I liked the nursing side most, so I wanted to go the veterinary technician route,” Shawn explains. The decision that both mother and daughter made to en- roll at Purdue also involved family ties. “We bleed gold and black,” says Sandy, whose father and husband also are Purdue grads. “I was already at Purdue, pursuing my interest in science and biology in Purdue Veterinary Technology alumna Shawn Phelps, RVT, 1974, when my mother called me to let me know about a feature with her mom and fellow alumna, Sandy Dillard, RVT. story she had seen announcing that Purdue was starting a vet tech program,” recalls Sandy. “The program was to start the following year, and it seemed like the perfect option for me.” says Shawn. “In particular, I had the opportunity to meet another Though Sandy did not have any kind of experience work- Purdue Veterinary Technology alumna who worked there, Gara ing in a veterinary clinic, she was a bright student, achieving good Schommer, RVT (PU AS-VT ’93), who was an important mentor grades both in high school and in her coursework at Purdue.

8 — 2011 PVM Report — Distinguished Alumni Honored

A veterinary technology program alumna and two DVM graduates received the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine’s highest honor for alumni during the annual PVM Fall Conference and Homecoming activities. A special Awards Celebra- tion held at the Purdue Memorial Union September 22 included the presentation of the first PVM Distinguished Veterinary Technologist Alumna Award. The award was estab- lished in 2011 to honor Purdue veterinary technology alumni who have distinguished themselves through outstanding performance. Dean Willie Reed presented the inaugural award to Kristin Husband, RVT (AS-VT ’02), who is the Program RVT at the International Business College’s Vet Tech Institute in Fort Wayne, Ind. Distinguished Alumni Awards also were presented to Drs. Roy Coolman and Fred Hoerr. Dr. Coolman (PU DVM ’65), is a retired private practitioner from Fort Wayne, Ind., who has been actively involved in veterinary-related mission work in Ethiopia. Dr. Fred Hoerr (PU DVM ’76), is the director of the Alabama Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories and professor of avian pathology at Auburn University. The Awards Celebration featured videos about each recipient’s career that were played just before each award was presented. The videos and the recipients’ acceptance speeches are available for viewing via the college’s website at http://www.vet.purdue. edu/2011FallConference/awards-celebration.php. The presentation of the PVM Distinguished Alumni Awards dates back to 1978, when the first Distinguished Alumnus Award was given posthumously to Dr. David Mullis, a member of the Class of 1967—the class which established the award as a memorial. More than 50 alumni have been recognized as distinguished graduates since then.

Veterinary Technology Family (continued) After graduation, Shawn, like her mother, jumped right into work at a veterinary clinic, though she changed jobs a couple of times before finding the right fit at the Rockville Road Animal Hospital in Indianapolis. As mother-daughter colleagues, Sandy and Shawn enjoy the family dimension to their professional lives. Shawn appreciates the opportu- nity to share experiences with her mom, knowing she really understands them. “She had similar experiences. When I told her about the first time I placed a catheter, it meant something to her,” Shawn explains. “We compare notes. If we are trying a new product, we can discuss how it worked,” Shawn adds. Sandy is excited to see her daughter thriving at a busy multiple doctor practice. “When I started out, veterinary technology was a new career field,” Sandy says. Shawn remembers that when her mom graduated, veterinarians didn’t necessarily know what veterinary technicians could do for their practices. “Today, practices know how to utilize veterinary technicians. We are happy that we both work in practices that respect and utilize our skills and expertise,” Shawn says. Sandy concludes with satisfaction, “it all worked out.” And that’s true for the “pioneer,” her progeny, and the Purdue Veterinary Technology Program.

In 2001, Dawn (Slessman at that time) made the decision to join the ranks of the National Veteri- nary Response Team (NVRT), part of the National Disaster Medical System. Little did she know when she joined, what impact this would make on the remainder of her career. The tragedies of September 11, 2001, occurred just one week after Dawn joined NVRT. Dawn was deployed as a part of NVRT’s work in New York City at Ground Zero helping to treat service dogs working with fire and police teams. In the wake of her experience with the 9-11 tragedy, Dawn and her sister Lori Birky, a horse train- er, felt that something must be established to respond to animals in local emergencies.

I had few details Shadow, heads for a waiting patrol car after walking out of Purdue at that point, but as I drove to the hospital (I have about Veterinary Medicine’s Small Animal Hospital to a hero’s welcome. a 90-minute commute) I caught several news reports on (Purdue University Photo by Andrew Hancock) what had happened the previous night. I had never be- fore heard about one of my patients on the radio prior to meeting them. It was a strange feeling, and a bit of a portent for what would follow.” The news reports recounted the tragic events of the night before in the city just about two hours south Distinguished Alumnus of the Purdue campus. Shadow and his partner, Officer Award Nominations Brent Long, entered a Terre Haute residence as part of a multi-agency police force serving a warrant when the sus- are Needed pect opened fire. Bullets struck Officer Long and Shadow. Information and nomination Both Officer Long and the suspect died, and Shadow forms are available at was injured critically. Purdue alumna Jessica Cooke (PU www.purdue.edu/svmengaged/ DVM ’07), provided Shadow with initial triage at Heri- awards/FamilyPride tage Animal Hospital in Terre Haute, before the four- year-old Belgian Malinois was transferred to Purdue. “When we got the call that Shadow was almost here,” Dr. Johnson remembers, “we prepared for the worst. Oxygen, gurney, bandages all were at the ready in case he should arrive in rough shape. When he walked out of the car and into the hospital under his own power, we breathed a collective sigh of relief. He looked remark- ably good for having been shot in the face and having just lost his best friend and handler.” A team came together to provide the care Shadow needed. Dr. Johnson, intern Rebecca Lee, surgeons Amy Fauber and Gary Lantz, and veterinary students Elizabeth Berndt and Brandon Rice worked together on Shadow’s treatment. The case was anything but routine. Dr. Johnson later documented in a blog (http://www. petconnection.com/blog/2011/07/21/) the challenges they faced. (continued on pg. 30)

28 — 2011 PVM Report — A Special Remembrance for a Special Kitty... Pet Tribute Honors "Tai" and Family

In January 2007, Julie Roberts brought her American Domestic Shorthair black and white cat, Tai, to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Tai’s local veterinarian, Dr. Patricia Cooke (PU DVM ’76), made the recommendation to visit Purdue because of vari- ous internal medicine issues that required additional diagnostics. Over the course of several years, Tai and Julie made the two-hour trip from their home in Terre Haute, Ind., to West Lafayette so Tai could be seen by different specialists. Tai became a familiar patient as each of her visits required the expertise and skills of a number of senior clinicians, residents and staff. She experienced problems with anemia, lethargy, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, and an infection of the liver and gall bladder. Tai was a very sick kitty, indeed. In January, 2011, Tai’s condition worsened as she returned to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital with a Julie Roberts (center-left) and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Roberts, stand with cloudy eye.

New Programs Introduce Families / Groups to Veterinary Medicine

Purdue Veterinary Medicine launched a new program in October designed for families with students who are elementary school age or older and who are interested in learning more about the veterinary profession. The PVM Family Program features a series of lectures in Lynn Hall. Presentations are delivered on the first Thursday of each month, from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m., through March. The program is free but registration is required. The in- augural speaker on October 6 was Dr. Yava Jones, assistant pro- fessor of veterinary pathology, who provided an overview of the breadth of career opportunities that the veterinary profession has to offer. More than 35 people attended. The children who came commented that “it was explained really good!” One five-year-old attendee even illustrated Dr. Jones’ presentation as he listened, drawing pictures depicting new medicines that veterinarians in- vented for animals and people, and showing veterinarians check- ing the safety of our water supply. On November 6, Dr. Paula Assistant Professor of Veterinary Pathology, Dr.Yava Jones talks Johnson, clinical assistant professor of emergency critical care, with a student after the first PVM Family Program. gave a presentation on adrenaline-filled emergency veterinary medicine. Then, December 1, Dr. Jon Townsend, assistant profes- sor of dairy production medicine, explained the exciting world of dairy medicine. The January presentation featured Dr. Stacy Tinkler, who talked about what it is like to be a veterinarian for horses. Other participants for the spring include Dr. Mark Hilton, clinical associate professor of food animal production medicine and Dr. Lynn Guptill, associate professor and co-section chief of small animal internal medicine. More information about the PVM Family Program Series is available at http://www.purdue. edu/svmengaged/ce/p12outreach. Group Educational Programs also are available. These new hands-on sessions are designed for groups of 10 to 25 elementary and middle school students with the goal of generating excitement about careers in health science. There are two programs available for elementary school students. In “Skeleton Races,” students learn how to read radiographs and race to assemble knees, shoul- ders, arms and legs from replicas of dog and human skeletons. In the “Skull Game,” students try to identify models of various PVM Director of Diversity Initiatives Kauline Davis, helps students learn from a cow skull during a group educational program at Lynn Hall. animal skulls by using clues and by looking at microscopic images of the fur, scales, or hair of different animals. Middle school stu- dents learn what you can find out about an animal from its skull while getting hands-on experience working with a wide variety of animal skull replicas and learning interesting facts about each ani- mal. Programs are offered on the second Thursday of each month from 4:30-5:30 pm. The programs are free, but groups must select a program topic and schedule the visit in advance.

32 — 2011 PVM Report — International Programs Broaden PVM Horizons

As part of the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine’s strategic goal to provide all students the opportunity for a global experience, 42 Purdue veterinary students traveled internation- ally to 13 countries in 2011, and the College hosted visitors from Japan, the Czech Republic, Ghana, Ukraine, Brazil, France, and Taiwan. Since 1995, Purdue Veterinary Medicine has enjoyed a partner- ship with its sister institution, Kitasato University School of Animal Sciences and Veterinary Medicine in Towada-shi, Japan. This year was particularly re- warding as the two institutions exchanged students as well as faculty for the first time. In August, seven Japanese veterinary students, accompanied by their faculty advisor, Dr. Takahiro Taoda, began a two week stay at Purdue. During their visit, students ex- perienced Small and Large Animal Hospital life, sur- gery, anesthesiology, neurology and oncology.

PVM Program Expands "Access to Animal-Related Careers"

The Access to Animal-Related Careers Program (A2RC) was initiated in 2009 by Director of Diversity Initiatives Kauline Davis to bring high-achieving pre-veterinary undergraduate stu- dents to the Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine for a week-long summer residential program. During the program, PVM faculty members lead hands-on academic sessions that in- clude significant time in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital as well as off-campus trips. The academic on-campus sessions include cardiology, husbandry, diagnostic imaging, and emergency and critical care medicine. A2RC participants also visit swine and dairy production facilities in Indiana. The program is designed to nurture and enhance the students’ interest in the profession and introduce them to the PVM experience. The success of the program is embodied in the eight A2RC alumni who are enrolled in veterinary programs this year, four of whom are members of 2 the Purdue Veterinary Medicine DVM Class of 2015: Lauren Avery, PVM Wellness Clinician Lorraine Corriveau guides two A RC students through the process of doing a basic exam on a rabbit.

A longstanding tradition of holding a fund-raising auc- tion as part of the annual Fall Conference continued in 2011 but with a new twist. The auction was moved from an afternoon to an evening event and combined with the Medicine Mixer Recep- tion. Held at the Purdue Memorial Union ballrooms, the event attracted nearly 300 alumni, faculty, staff and students. The eve- ning began with the reception, when members of alumni reunion classes were honored, and continued with bidding on a variety of high quality and unique items donated to raise funds for student scholarships. Several of the items were donated in memory of the late Dr. Jack Fessler, professor emeritus of large animal surgery, who passed away in April. Among those items was a customized t-shirt featuring a number of classic Fessler nicknames. Auc- tion volunteer and PVM retiree Harry Latshaw wore the shirt at the start of the event, helping to secure the highest bid of nearly $3,000, which was made by a member of the 25th reunion class. By the end of the evening, a total of more than $24,500 was raised to support PVM student financial aid.

I know it’s hard for College of Veterinary Medicine has a family atmosphere, me, but what is that translating to in the mind of a 12-year-old or but some of our students can interpret that saying a nine-year-old?” a bit more literally than their peers. One of Orville’s classmates, Kristine Moss, is facing a similar circumstance. She has two children, David III, a six-year-old boy, It’s 7 p.m., on a Wednesday evening, and Orville Bramwell and Madelyn, a three-year-old girl.

Drs. Susan and Craig Wardrip (PU DVM ’78), of Palos Heights, Ill., established a scholarship to help students who are raising children while in veterinary school. The idea grew out of their own experience as students. Craig remembers when Susan told then Dean Jack Stockton back in May of 1974 that she was preg- nant and would have a child soon after beginning veterinary school. “We worried that he would tell her that she could not start class pregnant. Instead, he smiled and said: ‘That’s great—if it isn’t a problem for you, it won’t be a problem for us.’ And it wasn’t.” Drs. Susan and Craig Wardrip visited with Wardrip Family Veterinary Scholarship Their first daughter was born October 8, during recipients (l-r) Kristine Moss, Daniel Hendrickson, and Orville Bramwell their first semester in veterinary school.

A Matter of the Will: Planning your Tribute to the Human Animal Bond by Carol Willoughby

“Life is a gift, and if we agree to accept it, we must contribute in return. When we fail to contribute, we fail to adequately answer why we are here.” —Albert Einstein— Dean Willie Reed with (left) Mary Elisabeth Keller and her daughter Anne. Why do people give to charitable organizations? Simply stated, they want to make a difference. There’s an old saying that says nobody is remembered for what they took but instead for In the Keller family they have made it a practice to review what they gave. Charitable giving to a university often reflects their charitable giving in their wills about every five years. “Just peoples’ feelings of being blessed by what they have and all they as we all change through the aging process,” Mary Elisabeth says, are, or for a service that was provided on behalf of a family mem- “we often change what we hold near and dear to us.” Both Mary ber.

62 — 2011 PVM Report — A Message from the Dean

“What’s in a name?” It is a fair question, as immortalized in the lines of William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.” The answer in the case of Purdue Veterinary Geckler Veterinary Hospital, LLC Indianapolis, IN Pet Vac Animal Hospital Spartanburg, SC Medicine, is, “plenty!” And that is why, after careful thought and extensive discus- Gibbons Veterinary Hospital - Wading River Wading River, NY Peterborough Veterinary Clinic Peterborough, NH sion with faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends, we requested that our name Hall Koehler, P.C. Indianapolis, IN Plymouth Veterinary Clinic Plymouth, IN be changed from “School” to “College.” I am very pleased that the Board of Trustees Hammond Pet Hospital Hammond, IN Plymouth Veterinary Hospital Plymouth, MI approved that request in December, effective with the start of the 2012 spring semester. Hartford Animal Clinic Hartford City, IN Portage Animal Clinic Portage, IN That’s why it is now possible for you to be reading the Purdue University College of Hazel Dell Animal Hospital, PC Carmel, IN Princeton Veterinary Hospital Princeton, IN Veterinary Medicine Annual Report. Highland Animal Hospital Highland, IN Quintiles, Inc. Research Triangle Park, NC It certainly can be said that this is truly a “change in name only.” Everything Illiana Vet Hospital, Ltd. South Holland, IL Ramapo Animal Clinic Pomona, NY else is staying the same. But that doesn’t mean the change is insignificant. First im- Irvington Pet Clinic, Inc. Indianapolis, IN Ramapo Kennel Club, Inc. Brick Town, NJ pressions are very important, as are proper introductions. The term “School” had Jackman’s Animal Clinic Milroy, IN Ridgefield Animal Hospital Ridgefield, CT begun to hamper our effectiveness in helping people understand the breadth and Janssen Veterinary Clinic, LLC Sheridan, IN Rockville Road Veterinarians, Inc. Indianapolis, IN stature of Purdue Veterinary Medicine. The name “College” more accurately reflects Jennings Veterinarians, Inc. North Vernon, IN Rodgers Vet Hospitals, Inc. Knightsville, IN the size and scope of our programs. In addition to the doctorate of veterinary medi- Knollwood Animal Hospital, PC Lake Bluff, IL Salem Veterinary Service, Inc. Salem, IN cine program, we offer the baccalaureate degree and the associate degree in veteri- Knox Veterinary Hospital, Inc. Knox, IN San Ramon Veterinary Hospital San Ramon, CA Kurtz Veterinary Clinic Hagerstown, IN nary technology, as well as the Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees in a number of Seven Oaks Veterinary Clinic Plymouth, IN Lake City Animal Clinic Warsaw, IN Seymour Animal Hospital Seymour, IN biomedical disciplines. Our faculty represents 20 different boarded specialties. We Lakepointe Internal Medicine, LLC Evansville, IN Silver Lake Small Animal Veterinary Clinic Silver Lake, IN have residency programs that train future specialists for careers in private practice Lakeside Pet Clinic Whiting, IN South 31 Veterinary Clinic Indianapolis, IN and academia. We are home to scholars who are at the forefront of scientific dis- Lakeville Veterinary Clinic Inc. Lakeville, IN South Side Animal Hospital, Inc. Indianapolis, IN covery in their disciplines. This name change brings us more in line with the other Laughery Valley Veterinary Hospital, Inc. Versailles, IN Southlake Animal Hospital, Inc. Merrillville, IN major units on campus and reduces confusion by some who mistakenly believed Leininger Veterinary Clinic Crown Point, IN Spring Valley Veterinary Clinic Schaumburg, IL that we were part of another Purdue college. Additionally, the term “college” is used Lilly Endowment Incorporated Indianapolis, IN St. Joe Center Veterinary Hospital Fort Wayne, IN by all but five of the 28 U.S. veterinary institutions. Being referred to as the Purdue Lincoln Way Animal Clinic Crown Point, IN St. Joe Central P.T.A. Fort Wayne, IN University College of Veterinary Medicine will help ensure an accurate understanding Lincolnway Veterinary Clinic, Inc. Mishawaka, IN St. Joe Veterinary Clinic Evansville, IN of our mission. Magrane Animal Hospital, P.C. Mishawaka, IN St. John Animal Clinic Saint John, IN Even though we have a new name, we will keep our same logo and short form Main Line Veterinary Clinic Frazer, PA Stellhorn Veterinary Hospital Fort Wayne, IN name, Purdue Veterinary Medicine. And we will continue to emphasize those attributes Manchester Veterinary Clinic North Manchester, IN Stoney Creek Pet Clinic Noblesville, IN that are our hallmarks, including our steadfast commitment to excellence and diversity; Merrillville Animal Hospital Merrillville, IN Summerlin Animal Hospital Las Vegas, NV our leadership in scientific discovery focused on our key areas of strength, including Metzger/Holcomb Animal Clinic, LLC Spearfish, SD Summit Animal Clinic Oconomowoc, WI cancer, infectious diseases, biomedical engineering and neuroscience; and our effec- Mobile Vet Services, P.C.

Napoleon Veterinary Clinic, Inc. Napoleon, OH Tri-State Veterinary Clinic & Equine Center Kendallville, IN There is one other attribute that will continue to define us, even as we adopt National Veterinary Associates Agoura Hills, CA VCA Antech, Inc. Los Angeles, CA New Carlisle Animal Clinic, PC New Carlisle, IN Village East Animal Hospital Evansville, IN our new name of “College.” That attribute is the focus of this annual report: our New Prairie Veterinary Services Rolling Prairie, IN Wabash Valley Animal Hospital Terre Haute, IN sense of “family.” Nowhere is the idea of a veterinary “family” more real than at Nora Veterinary Hospital Indianapolis, IN Waltz Animal Clinic Madison, IN Purdue University.

Kokomo, IN West 56th Street Veterinary Hospital Indianapolis, IN wonderful family characteristic that will continue to be at the heart of what makes Oak Hill Animal Clinic, Inc.
