Ed Jeram earned MS degrees in Chemistry and Management from RPI. His 45 year career includes 30 years at GE Silicones in Waterford and a Silicone Consultant for 15 years. Ed was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2016 and has been undergoing treatment at Albany Medical Center and Dana-Farber in Boston. “I came out of Albany Med in a wheelchair and went into Dana-Farber in a wheelchair. I then graduated to a walker, then a cane and today, I walk in and out of Dana-Farber on my own.” Best wishes for continued healing and health, Ed! Bob Jordan graduated from Albany Medical College in 1967. “I started my internship and residency but this was
interrupted when I went into the Army. I served in Vietnam for a year and worked as a surgeon in an evac hospital. After leaving Vietnam I returned and completed training in general surgery. I joined a group of general surgeons in Albany and remained in the practice for 35 years. During this time I remained in the Army reserve and ultimately commanded a medical brigade as a Brigadier General, and then was promoted to Major General (only one of three Major General reserve physicians in the country at that time ) at which time I worked in the Pentagon for four years. I stopped doing general surgery in 2010 but remained in wound care which I am doing to this day. I presently work part time at The Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine at Memorial
Hospital in Albany. I am also a Knight of Malta.” Paul Thorpe retired after practicing law for 50 years. He has been married to Barbara for 54 years, has 4 children and 10 grandchildren and could not be happier.
