Dr. Nelson Rue is venerable in our club. He is a 77 year old retired general surgeon, U of L Class of 1956. Many of us or a family member have been patients of Dr. Rue. I worked up on Hospital Hill in the ER in 1975 just after graduating from Medical School, U of L Class of 1973, and Nelson bailed me out of many difficult situations. I think members newer to the community may know Nelson for his frequent anecdotes. Often after our speaker finishes with his or her presentation Nelson will have a post script. His wealth of experiences gives him a vast encyclopedia of personal knowledge to draw from. Well we love him for it and we all looked forward to his "Reflections" at our meeting on Wednesday May 28. Program Chair Margaret Curtis seen here sitting with Nelson is to be commended for calling on Nelson for the program. I sat up my video camera and taped the whole presentation for posterity. Anyway Nelson's talk was the bookend to a paper he had written in High School in 1948. He wrote then about television's role in education. His teacher gave him an A++ for it and he still had the note praising his achievement. Nelson reviewed the last sixty years of TV with some seriousness and a lot of humor. Thank you Nelson for a delightful program and for many years of service to our community. God bless.
