Dedication A DEDICATION TO THE MEMORY OF JOHN CHASE WOOD, JR., M.D. Dr. John Chase Wood, Jr., born November 1, 1950, and struck down and killed by an act of senseless violence on the night of November 2, 1981, while on duty as a surgical resident at the Presbyterian Hospital. He was a graduate of P8cS, Class of 1976. John's first ambition was to play the French horn and he pursued that goal to the degree that he played his horn in a virtuoso way, he was a consummate musician with interest and ability not just in the classics, but in jazz, rock and in composition. He excelled at sports and always played to win. He was a skillful clinical pediatrician and surgeon in training, his professional medical goal was to be a pediatric surgeon. In the laboratory he did award winning research in the year before his death. He was a devoted and loving husband and an excited, enthusiastic father-to-be. Above all, he was a sensitive human being and a lover of his fellow man. His joy in living was apparent whether he triumphantly diagnosed and treated a serious illness in a tiny patient, or scored a goal in rugby, or when he poured forth his joyous sweet sound from his French horn. It is most fitting that the Class of 1982 dedicate this Year Book to the memory of Dr. John Chase Wood, Jr. He was the epitome of the PSLS graduate. Edward T. Bowe, M.D. Associate Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology
