More than 70 of our alumni, faculty and trainees participated in the Sixth Annual Fall Alumni Day held at the Kellogg Eye Center last October. This annual event is a wonderful opportunity for alumni to renew old friendships and to exchange clinical and scientific knowledge with our faculty and their peers.

| Alumni Class Notes William Selezinka, M.D. (residency, 1973), was honored with the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s Outstanding Humanitarian Service Award during the 2000 Annual Meeting. Dr. Selezinka, a native of Ukraine, spends each summer transporting surgical teams, equipment, and supplies to that country and then teaching physicians and treating patients in the city of Ivano-Frankivsk. The residents are so grateful that they have renamed their eye hospital in Dr. Selezinka’s honor. Richard Carlin, M.D., who finished his residency here in 1975, reports that his son, David, will begin an ophthalmology residency program at the University of North Carolina next Fall. They look forward to working together after the younger Dr. Carlin finishes his training. Michael R. Peterson, M.D., Ph.D., residency class of 1990, presented a paper entitled “Indocyanine Green-assisted Peeling of the Retinal Internal Limiting Membrane During Vitrectomy Surgery for Macular Hole Repair” at last October’s American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting. Tarek S. Hassan, M.D. (residency 1992) and Morton S. Cox, M.D. (residency 1964) have written a paper entitled “Clinical Course and Surgical Treatment of Macular Epiretinal Membranes in Young Subjects” that was published in the January 2001 issue of Ophthalmology. Dr. Hassan is also an author on another paper in that issue, “A Comparison of Visual Results and Complications in Eyes with Posterior Chamber Intraocular Lens Dislocation Treated with Pars Plana Vitrectomy and Lens Repositioning or Lens Exchange.” Sayoko E. Moroi, M.D., Ph.D. and Michael D. Fetters, M.D., M.P.H. are the proud parents of a new baby boy. Born in December, Takashi Fetters is doing beautifully, as are his parents. Dr. Moroi completed her glaucoma fellowship at Kellogg in 1995 and has been on the faculty since that time. Amjad Z. Ahmad, M.D. (residency 1998), Ayad Farjo, M.D. (current Chief Resident), and Professor of Ophthalmology and Neurology Jonathan Trobe, M.D. had a case report, “Penetrating Orbital Injury by Automobile Wiper-Control Stalk” published in the December issue of Archives of Ophthalmology. In Memoriam We mourn the passing of Henry A. Dunlap, M.D., who completed his residency in 1934, Thomas L. Edwards, M.D., who completed his residency in 1948, and Gardner D. Phelps, M.D., who completed his residency in 1947. Kellogg Eye Center Alumni Meet in Dallas The Tower Club on the 48th floor overlooking downtown Dallas provided a delightful setting for Kellogg Eye Center alumni from around the world to join faculty and senior residents for a convivial evening last October during the American Academy of Ophthalmology Annual Meeting. The dinner provided opportunities to meet old friends and to talk about Kellogg presentations at the AAO. For example, there was much interest in Ron Kurtz’ (R’94) hands-on demonstration of the experimental ultrafast laser that is being tested for corneal and glaucoma applications. Mark your calendar for the 2001 AAO Alumni Dinner: Monday, November 12, 2001 at Arnaud’s Restaurant in New Orleans.
