Official Dermatologist
This photo is Dr. John Gordon, with one of his dogs, Buck. "He is a wonderful companion with too numerous to count qualities including visits to Childrens Hospital every other week and insists on retrieving the morning paper from the end of the driveway. He is undergoing his fourth treatment of chemotherapy for a primary pulmonary chondrosarcoma (a rare tumor) after having his right cranial lung lobe removed 8 weeks ago. He was visiting the children two weeks later."
