Dartmouth football players and athletes of the past lost a friend with the passing a little earlier this month of Dr. Robert Porter, the orthopedic surgeon who helped a lot of them get back in action. From a remembrance (LINK):
Dr. Robert E. Porter, Jr. passed away peacefully on September 10, 2024 in Gainesville, Florida, where he'd resided for the past 20 years following decades of living and working in Hanover, N.H. and Norwich, Vt.
(Dr. Porter joined) the orthopedics section of the Hitchcock Clinic at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Hanover, N.H. in 1972. There he became an associate professor of surgery at Dartmouth Medical School in the early 1980s. As a college athlete and avid team sports fan, he had a particular interest in sports medicine and athletic training and took it upon himself to introduce arthroscopic surgery to his orthopedic practice.

EXTRA POINT
I'm not a coffee drinker so when I bought a chocolate muffin at a general store I also pulled a small container of milk out of the cooler. I was down the road a bit when I took my first swig. So far, so good. It wasn't until about the third or fourth swig that I came across a lump in the milk. It's not nearly as yucky as when milk is bad, but I'm here to tell you that lumpy milk doesn't sit right with me. I was far enough down the road that I wasn't going to turn around and get my money back, but I sure wasn't going to drink the rest of it. ;-(
