Joel Barish (Jefferson Medical College)
Joel Barish (Jefferson Medical College) writes, "When we first graduated, I would read the alumni notes and wonder if I would ever retire. It seemed daunting to have my class notes near the beginning of the list, rather than at the end. The day has come and I am now retired. Left the Columbia Univ. faculty at the end of 2003 and taught medicine in Japan, half time since then. But I have reached the mandatory retirement age and have been put out to pasture. Fortunately, I live in San Francsico, which is a terrific city. But, I miss medicine and will soon join the clinical faculty at UCSF and teach a day per week. I never forget how lucky we were to have gone to such an excellent med school.
