Enjoy. ON THE COVER Warm regards, Senior John Marbach Photo by Heather Evans Smith 2 WAKE FOREST MAGAZINE FEATURES WHY C A M E BACK Senior John Marbach dropped out for $100,000 but returned to dorm life. BY MARIA HENSON (’82) PHOTOGRAPHY BY HEATHER EVANS SMITH SPRING 2015 3 , JOHNa computer MARBACH science major from Belle Mead, New Jersey, entered Wake Forest as a freshman in the fall of 2011 already an entrepreneur. He had created and sold a vacation-rental website for his parents his first year in high school. He attended Wake Forest for one semester, withdrawing to accept an appointment to the inaugural class of the 20 Under 20 Thiel Fellowship. PayPal co-founder and Facebook investor Peter Thiel created the highly competitive two-year fellowships, according to his foundation, to encourage fellows to “pursue in- novative scientific and technical projects, learn entrepreneurship and begin to build the technology companies of tomorrow.” The fellowship made news in part for encouraging teens to skip college or drop out. Marbach left the University for a year during which he worked on his business ideas in Silicon Valley and New York City. He returned to Wake Forest in January 2013, leaving the second half of his fellowship money — $50,000 — on the table. He spoke to Maria Hen- son (’82) about his journey. The following are edited, condensed excerpts. MH: Describe what happened. JM: I applied early decision and I got deferred, so I wasn’t sure how things were going to work out. I got into Wake the weekend I was going out to San Francisco to apply for this fellowship. I was in a pickle — between both worlds. I really wanted to get this fellowship, but I just got accepted to Wake. At that point I knew things were going to work out no matter what, and that made me happy. I was here for a semester, and I enjoyed it. There probably wouldn’t have been a natural inclination to leave if it weren’t for the fellowship, but that’s the whole point of the fellow- ship — to encourage people to leave and try something new and take a risk. 4 WAKE FOREST MAGAZINE FEATURES John Marbach hangs out with friends and fellow seniors (left to right) David Hughes, Lindsay Hudson Ortyn and Nikolai Hlebowitsh.

  • Union Commission Recognizes Former Kroger Manager
    Larry Solomon MAYOR Union Commission Recognizes Former Kroger Manager The City Commission of the City of Union joined Kentucky State Senator John Schickel (Union) in recognizing former Union Kroger Manager Jerry Lux at the October 2, 2017, meeting. Mr. Lux, who managed the Union Kroger for more than 20 years, recently retired from the company. Schickel presented Mr. Lux a certificate, issued by Governor Matt Bevin, recognizing him as a Kentucky Colonel for his service to the state of Kentucky. The Commission also heard an update on the recent Zachary Salmon 5K Charity Run, which benefits the Union Adopt-A-Unit program. Mayor Larry Solomon also presented an update on construction and road closures related to the Mt. Zion/KY 536 Road Project. Several members of the community came forward with a request to consider the addition of 250 feet of new sidewalk along Old Union Road near the Villas of Fowler’s Creek subdivision. The Commission is taking the matter under advisement. The Commission also reviewed the response from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in regards to a request by the commission for a reduction of the speed limit on US42 between Braxton Road to north of Frogtown Road from 55 to 45. The KYTC denied the request for a speed reduction, and the commission will ask for a yearly study of the speed issue. In additional business, a bid was approved for some additional road work along Old Union Road to repair some potholes and other road safety issues. The Commission approved the official Trick-or-Treat hours for Halloween in the City of Union to be October 31 from 6 to 8 p.m.

We have thought a lot about this over the years and have come to realize that most of those who buy from us don’t consider themselves to be book collectors even though they may often buy collectible books. Rather, whether institutional or individual, they are thematic collectors—perhaps they collect topics related to their employment, a hobby, an institution, an interest, a region, a historical period, or even their family—and the things we sell, stories about some facet of their original owners’ lives, provide personal insights into interesting or important aspects of American life, history, or culture.

They’re like lawyers. No one wants to go to one, but when you need one...you need one! The earliest documented institutions aiming to provide cures were ancient Egyptian temples. In Ancient Greece, temples dedicated to the healer-god Asclepius functioned as hospitals. India had hospitals at least No. 373 SIERRA-DIABLO BULLETIN-February 2016 Page 2 as early as c. 400 BC. Historically, hospitals were normally founded and funded by religious orders or charitable groups or individuals. Nearly 100,000 Americans are hospitalized every day, which means nearly 40 million every year. It’s difficult to compare and rank all hospitals. They differ greatly in service, results, etc., but many specialize in certain areas. For example: the Anderson Cancer Center in Huston is ranked no. 1 in cancer treatment; the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio is ranked no. 1 in cardiology and heart surgery; and the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City is ranked no. 1 in Orthopedics. Still, a U.S. News & World Report listing of the top ten best U.S. hospitals, released last year, gives the following: 1. Massachusetts General Hospital 2. Mayo Clinic 3.
