John, HMS 43, was a loyal and vital part of the Harvard community for the better part of sixty years. He was born in Cambridge and educated both at Harvard College and Harvard Medical School, graduating in one of the accelerated wartime classes when students drilled in the Quadrangle in uniform. After medical school graduation, John went on to a surgical internship and a year of residency at the New York Hospital before assuming active duty in the Army for two years, most of which was served as a surgeon on Guam in a station hospital.https://dev.news.harvard.edu/gazette/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/18-mm-1.jpg
