Dedication Michael Joseph Purcaro

Page 9 text:

Michael Joseph Purcaro A Waterbury native, Mr. Purcaro, graduated from Croft High School in 1961 before going on to the University of Connecticut as a pre-med student. While studying at the University, he became interested in the diagnosis and spread of bacterial and viral diseases in man and decided to pursue a career in this area of medicine. During his senior year, he was selected as one of two members of his class to do independent re- search work on bacterial diseases in insects under a grant from the State of Connecti- cut. In addition to his academic achievements, Mr. Purcaro graduated as a second lieutenant and a distinguished military student of the Army ROTC Program at University of Connecticut in 1965. Upon graduation, Mr. Purcaro continued his education at Central Connecticut State College Graduate School until 1967 and at the U.S. Army Medical Service Corp School, San Antonio, Texas. In 1968, he was chosen by the Army to head a viral research pro- ject to find a rapid and reliable method to detect viral infections in children. His re- search was interrupted, however, by the Viet Nam war. During the Viet Offensive, Cap- tain Purcaro was transferred to South Viet Nam where he became Chief of Laboratory Medicine for the Ninth Medical Laboratory Saigon. There he received further training in tropical diseases and thereupon was transferred to the Central Highlands to take change of mobile medical laboratories providing blood and other medical facilities to both Vietnamese and civilians and military units of the Vietnamese and American Army. In 1969, he returned to the United States to take charge of medical laboratory.services at a U.S. Army field hospital in West Hartford during which time he joined the Staff at Wilby High School. Here he began as a physical science instruction and was then trans- ferred to Chemistry. s
