Juliane Meng Hentschel (Res) sends a photo and an update. She writes that she’s earned a master’s degree in medical education from the University of Bern. She adds: “I always enjoy reading the news from Rochester, even though I’ve spent most of my life on the European continent in my native Germany and in Switzerland, where I live and work now. My greetings especially go to Bob Hoekelman, then head of pediatrics; Margaret Colgan ’53M (MD), retired pediatrician and preceptor and mentor at Strong; Lissa McAnarney ’70M (Flw), who already then knew everything about adolescents (and more), Ruth Lawrence ’49M (MD), ’58M (Res), iconic newborn health promoter, who visited me in Switzerland; Bill Maniscalco, who helped me publish a curious observation of my own on newborns; Peggy McFarlane, retired residency program coordinator, the surrogate mother of residents; and Bernie Weiss ’53 (PhD), whose elegant writings about environmental poisons I have followed since we became friends alongside the U of R swimming pool.” Juliane would love to hear from friends at juliane.meng@iml.unibe.ch.
