The NYSAFP Foundation will honor George Hart, MD, for his years of service to patients and his exemplary leadership within the Academy of Family Physicians at a reception at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, January 18th in conjunction with our 2013 Winter Weekend January 18th – 20th. The 2013 conference will be held at the High Peaks Resort in Lake Placid where Dr. Hart and his family reside.
Dr. Hart served as president of the Academy in 1970-71 and was an active and respected leader in the formation and growth of the Academy and the specialty of Family Medicine. His distinguished career in medicine and his extraordinary achievements as a community leader in Lake Placid epitomize the traditional role of the physician and establish Dr. Hart as a role model for young physicians.
We will honor Dr. Hart by establishing a fund within the NYSAFP Foundation in his name to support our work with medical students and residents in Family Medicine and to develop the leadership and advocacy skills of family physicians in the model which Dr. Hart and so many of his colleagues in the Academy have done over the years.
We hope to make this event a fitting tribute to Dr. Hart. We invite you to report on this event and attend and cover the tribute on January 18th.
Donations to the Dr. hart Fund may be made directly to the NYSAFP Foundation via PayPal on our webpage: http://www.nysafpfoundation.org/index/donate-now-5.html.
Donations to the Foundation are eligible for exemption from federal and NYS income taxes.

Charlie and Kathy Marshall will present the “Island Life off the Grid in SE Alaska: Challenges and Benefits ” at noon on Thursday, January 31 in the Cantwell Community Room at the Saranac Lake Free Library.
The Marshalls spent most of their careers living and working in northern climates. They met and married in the Washington D.C. area but soon left for jobs in Yellowstone National Park. Three years later, they moved to Lake Mead National Recreation Area in Boulder City, Nevada where Charlie continued working for the National Park Service (N.P.S.) and Kathy took a job with the Bureau of Reclamation. Their next assignment with the NPS was in Wisconsin at the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway where they spent 20 years and raised their daughter Jennifer. Kathy worked in a Physical Therapy clinic and Charlie continued his career as a telecommunications technician/manager. The next 7 years found them in Juneau, Alaska where Charlie finished out his government career with the US Forest Service while Kathy continued working in Physical Therapy. Eight years ago they retired to the Adirondacks, leaving their daughter and son-in-law in Alaska.
The presentation will revolve around the experience of living “remotely” in Southeast Alaska as their children are presently doing.
