Fred Byron: Responding to my asking if it was he, the editor of The Philippian, who had once stood at the top of the stairs facing the student body as it filed into Cochran Chapel. Reminding me of Mark Antony striking a pose from the steps of the Temple. “I have no recollection of the event you describe, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it didn’t happen. My ability to recall things that happened seventy years ago is much impaired, although your description makes it sound like an event I should remember. Mark it down as a mystery along with the great Route 28 detour caper!”
Dil Cannon: I am now 89 years old, and have been retired from orthopedic and sports medicine practice for 12 years. But to my total surprise, approximately 4 months ago, I received an email stating that my name will be used for a new society at UCSF called the “Cannon Society”. Our first meeting will be on September 9, and I will be giving a short talk.
Steve Halsted: Thanks for the [Zoom] report, and I look forward to participation in the future–when life is not so busy!! I am happily settled in Santa Barbara with my wife Carole (in a second marriage of 29 years), four children, 10 grandchildren, and 4 great grandkids. We are very happily settled in a retirement community here in Santa Barbara and now sticking close to home after extensive travels in Europe and Mexico. Happy to be alive!!!

I am now 89 years old, and have been retired from orthopedic and sports medicine practice for 12 years.

Congratulations, Dr. Cannon! And many thanks for letting us know. If there’s anything from your talk at UCSF this Wednesday that might interest your classmates please forward and it’ll get posted to my website. — Dave
