Carl E. Andrews, M.D. ’44, retired and living in Port St. Lucie, Fla., is now a “gentleman farmer” with 103 orange and grapefruit trees. He handles the farm completely by himself, including the cultivation, pruning and picking in early spring. After harvesting his crop, he travels through the neighborhood on his bicycle distributing bags of complimentary fruit. Andrews’ residence is in a neighborhood built around a small airstrip. The development was designed for individuals who own small planes, and each backyard has an aircraft taxi road leading to the airstrip. Although robust for his years, Andrews gave up his plane and license several years ago because of his age.

Martin Robson

Martin C. Robson, M.D., HS ’73, professor emeritus of surgery at the University of South Florida in Tampa, was awarded an honorary fellowship in the Royal College of Surgeons of England in July 2002. Robson, one of three recipients and the only honoree from outside the United Kingdom, was on the faculty at Yale until August 1974. Previous awards include an honorary fellowship in the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, the Lifetime Scientific Achievement Award of the Wound Healing Society and the Distinguished Service Award from the American Burn Association.

Frederick Sherman

Frederick S. Sherman, M.D. ’75, professor of pediatrics and obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the director of Perinatal Cardiology at Magee-Womens Hospital, a department that he founded in 1988, writes to say: “Like many I was exasperated by inefficiencies in academic medicine and communication issues between medical staff and administration. So … I went to business school and I am happy to report I received my M.B.A. from the Katz Graduate School of Business at Pitt in December 2002.” His department is devoted to diagnosing and managing cardiac problems in fetuses, newborns and pregnant women.

Audrey Weiner

Audrey S. Weiner, D.S.W., M.P.H. ’75, was appointed president and CEO of The Jewish Home & Hospital LifeCare System in November. Her responsibilities include leading the System’s three campuses, in Manhattan, the Bronx and Westchester, N.Y. She also assumes supervision of the Lester Eisner Jr. Center for Geriatric Education, the Kathy and Alan C. Greenberg Center on Ethics in Geriatrics and Long-Term Care and the Center on Pharmacology/Pharmacy for the Elderly.

Robert Higgins

Robert S.D. Higgins, M.D. ’85, former chair of cardiothoracic surgery and professor of surgery at the Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, in Richmond, was appointed chair of the department of cardiovascular-thoracic surgery at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago in January. His focus at Rush will be to enhance and advance the care of patients with diseases of the heart and lungs.

The Ohio Rural Developmental and Behavioral Clinic Initiative, directed by Ronald L. Lindsay, M.D., HS ’86, received the 2003 Ambulatory Pediatric Association Health Care Delivery Award in May. The award recognizes innovative and effective programs that provide health care in a teaching setting, and outstanding programs or systems of health care. The program provides referrals, training in the health professions and coordination of care by public health nurses in conjunction with local pediatricians.

Antoinette L. Lloyd, M.D. ’86, is a family physician and director of Healthy Jacksonville, part of the national Healthy People 2010 preventive medicine project for Jacksonville, Fla. She has been married for 18 years to John M. Montgomery, M.D., M.P.H. ’84. Montgomery is director of health services and chief medical epidemiologist for Jacksonville, and a program director and assistant professor of community health and family medicine at the University of Florida.
