From the EditorWe have not known Thee as we ought,Nor learned Thy wisdom, grace, and power;The things of earth have filled our thought,And trifles of the passing hour.Lord, give us Thy light the truth to see,And make us wise in knowing Thee.Photo by Janelle MichaelisThomas B. Pollock, 1889An alumnus once asked me how I produced the Alumni JOURNAL and how I found the time to do it.Firstly, I would say that I have been fascinated by the print medium since my grade school days when Iseriously read the Sunday newspaper comics. Secondly, I don’t play golf or tennis (the physical educationinstructor at Walla Walla College actually laughed when he saw that I had signed up for his tennis classto fulfill the required half-credit for the quarter—and challenged me to pass it). Thirdly, I found it stimulatingwhen writing and cutting and pasting script and photographs onto layout boards for the college paper andannual yearbook. Fourthly, I savored the excitement whenever the paper and/or annual came back from theprinter for distribution. Fifthly, I was invited to edit the LLUSM Alumni JOURNAL (“It’s only a two-yearappointment,” the caller said), and accepted in a weak moment.But actually, the sixth circumstance was the most important of all. I had a tall, slim, and patient, but constantlyin-action Richard Weismeyer with whom to work. He was familiar with periodical production, knewa good story when he saw it, and was certainly able to write in correct English.Born in Loma Linda and raised in San Bernardino (his father, Norman, worked in the grocery business),Richard grew up with a built-in industrious temperament. He worked his way through La Sierra Universityand earned degrees in English and English literature (B.A. and M.A.) and is presently finishing a doctorate ineducation. He joined the LLU Community Relations Department in 1966. This eventually evolved into theUniversity Relations Department, of which he has been head for the last thirty years.Everybody on campus is familiar with Richard and his work and his loyalties. He has traveled around theworld on LLU assignments first going to Greece in 1969, and subsequently to Asia, Africa, Europe, and theMiddle East. When he has spare time, he enjoys photography, reading, old-time radio, and vacationing inBryce Canyon.He long ago moved into the modern age in terms of computer technology. I continue to marvel at theway he manipulates the keyboard to get the right fonts, the right archive pictures, the correct photo intensity,and the last word of any article into the right hand bottom corner of the page. And he also receives and sendse-mails.Richard is hard-driving and yet most accommodating. He does not seem to mind my occasional tardinessand will meet with me on my time as our collaboration is not done during his or my regular office hours. It isa distinct privilege to have worked so closely with him in the last ten years.It has been a very good run.* Richard W. Weismeyer passed away on January 12, 2011.The above was written and set prior to this event. An tribute will be in the next AJ.—Henry K. Yeo ’68The Loma Linda University School ofMedicine Alumni Association wishes allthe very best throughout the new year.2011Photo by Henry K.

AA President’s PageAPC 2011 Featured SpeakersFifty Years of Memoriesby Philip H. Reiswig ’61, Alumni Association presidentIhave been informed that I am the firsteventually found our places. Many of uspresident of the Alumni Associationfrom small communities had never seenwho is simultaneously celebrating thesuch sites. Alcoholism was the direct orfiftieth anniversary of his School of Medicinegraduation and service as president. Ihave been asked to reflect on the past fiftyyears.When I arrived by train in 1957, Ilooked out the window and saw cows grazingon the north side of the railroad tracks.I felt so at home. I thought, “what an opportunity.Maybe I could work my waythrough medical school.”Loma Linda was an isolated little communitynestled among the orange grovesbetween Redlands and somewhere else.Almost no one in the surrounding communitieshad heard of Loma Linda muchless that there was a medical school locatedPhilip H. Reiswig ’61indirect cause of many of the admissions.One patient with cirrhosis of the liver,spider hemangiomata and hematemesisswore that he never took a drink in his life.When asked how much he had vomited,he replied, “Oh, about a fifth.” Those ofus who were used to measuring volumesin ounces, cups and pints required an interpreter.It was at the county hospital thatwe met Dr. Julius Bauer, the famous professorof medicine. He was originally fromVienna, Austria, when Vienna was one ofthe great centers of medicine in the world.The professor’s expertise was deciding thediagnosis based on the history and physicalexamination with few or no laboratorythere. When one turned off highway 99 and drove down AndersonStreet it was like saying goodbye to the rest of the world.Peace and quiet reigned. Loma Linda was called the farm, incontrast to the city campus in Los Angeles.There were still echoes of the founding fathers to be heard.Dr. Kenneth Kellogg taught physiology and Dr. Harold Shryockwas chairman of the anatomy department. Their fathers hadbeen members of the original medical school faculty. We hadweekly chapel services in Burden Hall, named after the originalfund-raiser. The original hotel building was still standing, butjust abandoned.How can we forget anatomy? We were nervous already andour first encounter with medicine was with a cadaver. There wasno air conditioning and in August those anatomy labs could getquite stuffy. The aroma of the anatomy lab has lingered with us,an unforgettable memory.When the basic science years were completed we traveled toLos Angeles with much anticipation to begin our clinical years.On the way we traveled through citrus groves and vineyards.Near Ontario there was a sign that advertised Virginia DareWinery, the largest vineyard in the world. When we arrived inLos Angeles we encountered THE LOS ANGELES COUNTYHOSPITAL, the awesome 3,000-bed gray rock in East Los Angeles.We were assigned to a ward and told to find it in thisimmense place. With some degree of fear and trepidation wetests. What a difference from today. It was a pleasure to observe.Our senior year was spent in the White Memorial Hospitaland clinics. That was a great learning experience. The clinic providedlow-cost medical care for the people in the area and themedical students were their physicians under guidance of themedical staff. We had direct hands-on experience in a settingvery difficult to replicate today.During our senior year, the very hot and contentious issuewas the location of the combined campus of the medical school.Many of the board of trustees were concerned that the allurementsand enticements of Hollywood were having an adverseeffect on the young medical students who were experiencingthe bright lights of the city for the first time. Little did theyanticipate what San Bernardino would become or the allurementsand enticements available on the Internet in the future.Since ancient times it has been difficult to escape enticementsentirely.We enjoyed our medical school experience and have beenindeed fortunate to have graduated into such a fine profession.Our memories are still with us and we remember fondly ourexperiences and the many fine faculty that taught us.The transferring of the clinical division of the Schoolof Medicine to Loma Linda precipitated enormous changesPlease turn to page 26Caldwell B.

Alumni FundEndowing the FutureThe Roger Barnes Memorial ResearchEndowment Fund wasestablished by Henry Hadley’46 and other alumni for the alumni fundto honor and memorialize Dr. RogerBarnes, the first chief of urology at CME/LLU. The fund was designed to supportresearch and education within the LomaLinda University School of Medicine Departmentof Urology.The Loma Linda University Departmentof Urology has chosen to go aboveand beyond basic education, and theirgoal is to continue to be recognized as athought leader and on the cutting edgeof urology care and research. In this timeof increased competition and less certainfunding, it is critical to help fund researchthrough charitable gifts. Within the urologydepartment these grants and gifts arechanneled into the Roger Barnes MemorialResearch Endowment FundThe Department of Urology aggressivelypursues research grants, and they usea portion of the income from the RogerBarnes Memorial Endowment ResearchFund for urological research conductedby attendings, residents, and medical students.Some of the Roger Barnes MemorialEndowment Research Fund is used to fundmedical students’ research during summerThe Roger Barnes Endowment Fundsupporting research and education in the LLU Departmet of Urologyby Treva Webster, School of Medicine liaisonbreak, and currently Jonathan Heldt istaking the whole year to conduct research.This is also supported by the Roger BarnesMemorial Endowment Research Fund.Roger W.

In March 2011, the doors will open at LomaLinda University Medical Center – Murrieta.For more than four years the city councilof Murrieta, their business leaders, physiciansand citizens have been overtly enthusiasticabout partnering with Loma Linda Universityin building a full-service hospital in their economicallyvibrant community. Murrieta is inthe Temecula Valley of Riverside County andhas not only an urgent need for more hospitalbeds but is also strategically placed equidistantfrom Loma Linda and the other academic medicalcenters in San Diego, Irvine and Riverside.About five years ago a large group of physicianpartners, many of whom are graduates of ourmedical school and/or our residency programs,sought out Loma Linda as a hospital partner inbuilding their own hospital, which would providethe much-needed beds to practice a higherlevel of care. When the time came to officiallyname the hospital, the inevitable challenge wasto find a name suitable for both the physician partners and Loma LindaUniversity Medical Center. The partners agreed to seek community inputto identify the best name for the hospital. Local community focusgroups were methodically organized and presented naming options.Although the focus groups narrowed their preferences to several differentiterations, the final options had one common denominator: thewords “Loma Linda University.” All the focus groups commented thatthis name was a symbol of quality, compassion and excellence. I waspleased at this objective evidence that our surrounding communitiesidentified the name “Loma Linda University” with highly reputablecare in our vast area populated by more than 4,000,000 people.The primary reason for Loma Linda University and the School ofMedicine to establish a presence in Murrieta is not because we wantedto drive 45 miles and practice in a beautiful community. Rather, ourdecision to be a part of the Murrieta community was based on the samereason that Percy T. Magan moved the clinical teaching curriculum toLos Angeles in the 1910s: the success of the medical school dependsupon access to patients. (The Los Angeles hospital was named after theschool’s founder, Ellen G. White, hence the White Memorial Hospital.In spite of over one hundred years and several major building renovations,the White Memorial Hospital continues to be a key teachingDean’s PageMurrieta and Missionby H. Roger Hadley ’74, School of Medicine deanH. Roger Hadley ’74facility for our medical students. Still hangingproudly in the hospital’s boardroom is a verylarge painting of Mrs. White.)In the 1960s, fifty years later, the governmentchanges in reimbursement throughMedicare and Medical prompted the new dean,David Hinshaw ’47, to build a new academicmedical center in Loma Linda, the locationoriginally identified by Mrs. White as the placewhere medical education “of the highest order”would occur. In 2011, the Healthcare ReformAct will have the largest impact on our medicalschool, faculty practice plan and the MedicalCenter since the 1960s. In the immediate anddistant future medical schools will only thrive ifthere is a clear, mutually beneficial relationshipbetween the school and its healthcare deliverysystem. The Act incentivizes the formation oftightly integrated and large physician/hospitalorganizations. The act will hold single integratedorganizations responsible for the cost of thehealth care in a community. Recognizing the importance of having alarge enough network of hospitals and physician practices, our strategicdirection is to partner with the communities for not only hospital care,but also partner with the primary care physicians.All of the above decisions in health care are made in the context ofour mission. In other words, the decision must tightly align with ourcore mission, “to further the healing ministry of Jesus Christ throughEDUCATION, health care and research.” If our response to dramaticchanges in the business of health care does NOT provide a better environmentfor medical student education then we have lost focus. Indeedthe new hospital in Murrieta has held out open arms for our studentsto gain invaluable experience at a state-of-the art new hospital just 40minutes away.After all, it is the students that bring more than 700 faculty toLoma Linda. Over the past few decades, we have developed over 45 differentresidency and fellowship programs because we believe that thiswill create a better medical student experience. It is the students whomotivate us to boldly move into the frontiers of health care systems,which will sustain Loma Linda University’s ability to educate each successivegeneration of doctors until the second coming of Christ.A Note From The Dean: On behalf of the School of Medicine, I wish to pay tribute to Mr. Richard Weismeyer, whopassed away on January 12, 2011. During his more than 40 years of service, his unselfish contributions in marketing and public relations for the universityand medical school have been positively monumental. A true friend of the School of Medicine and its Alumni Association, Dick was intensely loyalto the mission of the University. His wife, Carol, is the receptionist for the School of Medicine and an important friend of hundreds of medical studentsand alumni. —Roger Hadley, MD, DeanDiamond:Allen L. Brandt ’52Milo W.
