From Chapter 5 - Laudable
Pus: “’Oh, he’s all right,’ said the anesthetizer;
‘I couldn’t keep him quiet with the drops.’ Just then the child became perfectly limp and stopped
breathing as well as squirming.”
John Wheeler
From Chapter 7 - John Hazen Dodds: “On and off the field,
at all times and under all
circumstances, Dodds was the most quiet, unpretending and gentlemanly player imaginable. A big strapping fellow with splendid physique, a cool head and lots
of speed, he should make a valuable man
for the U.V.M.’s.”
Burlington News, 1894
From Chapter 15 - Fluothane: “In fact, who knows but that
people may some day be flocking to
UVM’s College of Medicine to view a Fluothane
Dome, just as thousands of visitors each year have inspected the Ether Dome at the Massachusetts General
Hospital in Boston.”
John Abajian
From Chapter 17 - The
Sixties: “How can you tell me I’m going to be
equal if Gino has been here since the ’40s and he’s not equal yet?’ And I’ll always remember John’s reply. ‘Well,
Gino doesn’t have any kids, so Gino
doesn’t need the money.”
