Notes
Note
I do not have Jan Beaver's address, but perhaps this note will reach her.I had a patient today who had been a patient of Bill Beaver back when. She was quite complimentary about his care. I also took care of her children when they were young. They had a congenital vision problem or else Toxoplasmosis from living in the Midwest. I am not certain, as the current history was a little fuzzy.
Along that line, I had another patient bring in an old glass case that had the names of James P. Rigg, M.D., and William C.Beaver, M.D., Grand Junction, Colorado, printed on the glass case! Maybe I should do that!
I even had a lady say that she remembered my office at 2323 North Seventh! Remarkable!
Just wanted to pass the note on to Jan Beaver! Well, not Beaver, but Cornwell, if that is the correct spelling and it may not be!
Bill Beaver and cousin Marge graduated from the University of Colorado in 1940. Of course, the Army changed all their plans. Bill had quite the experiences going down in Burma and hiking back to the Allied lines... took what, some 52 days or so from behind enemy lines? As I recall, that is where he picked up tuberculosis, and the early sulfa treatments ruined his hearing. They eventually ended up here and both Bill and Marge spent some time in Dad's office before moving on to Dr. Bill's own office and Marge to the Health Department.
Best to all... come by GJT soon, or whenever, or at least before we do something stupid like move back to Alaska! (No way!)
And, one more time... how are the Sloniker's related to mother? As I recall, the one who visited here and still has family here (Patsy Nix) was a second cousin to mother.
