Donald Huene (R ‘67) was awarded his 14th<br />
patent and the first that was not on a medical<br />
device. The U.S. patent is titled: “Fastener<br />
system and method for binding papers.”<br />
Huene says he still practices orthopaedic<br />
surgery, but takes more time <strong>of</strong>f. He also<br />
raises thoroughbred horses, which race at<br />
Bay Meadows, Santa Anita, Hollywood Park<br />
and Golden Gate Fields. Because <strong>of</strong> time<br />
commitments, he gave up raising emus,<br />
ostriches and llamas.<br />
A. Lawrence “Bo” Rose writes: “In the fall <strong>of</strong><br />
1955, I found a room at 85 Crittenden Blvd.<br />
The other two rooms in the house were<br />
already taken by Milt Finegold and Mike<br />
Liptzin. Mike was the rich kid; his room was<br />
$9 per week, while ours were only $8 a week.<br />
Thus started a friendship that lasted more<br />
than 50 years. Last summer, Milt was driving<br />
a huge U-Haul from Houston to New York City<br />
with his son’s belongings. Andrew was<br />
starting graduate studies there. Our home<br />
was on the way and the Finegold family<br />
arranged to spend the night. When Mike<br />
heard <strong>of</strong> the plan, he made arrangements to<br />
drive to Penn Laird, Va., from North Carolina.<br />
We had a wonderful mini-reunion in the<br />
Virginia countryside. We talked about how<br />
things had changed and how they had not<br />
changed, and the wonderful influence the<br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Rochester</strong> School <strong>of</strong> Medicine<br />
has had on our lives, how we have lived our<br />
lives and our approach toward the practice<br />
<strong>of</strong> medicine. We are hoping to repeat the<br />
reunion in the mountains <strong>of</strong> North Carolina.”<br />
Stephen Trokel writes that he is still working<br />
in his practice and at research. He has two<br />
children, ages 5 and 14, at home and six<br />
grandchildren. He gave rounds at Strong in<br />
September. The topic was “clinical and technical<br />
refinements in laser keratorefractive<br />
surgery.”<br />
