Herman F. Froeb M.D. writes, “I just finished my autobiography, It Took More Than a Village to Raise Me. The chapter on Choate was fun to recall. In Mr. Wilfong’s biology class and after reading Devil, Drugs and Doctors, Microbe Hunters and Arrowsmith in Messrs. Taylor’s and Tinker’s English courses, I decided that medicine was the field for me. The beginning of WWII sent me rapidly through pre-med at Princeton and landed me in Duke University School of Medicine at age 19. The rigors of academia – along with athletics and religious education – were the pillars of my future life. The motto of the School’s crest, Quaesivi Bona Tibi certainly worked for me.”

Grandson Tommy Wachtell is in the third form. Last year, Michael’s sister, Caroline Wachtell ’15, completed a postgraduate year and is now a freshman at Georgetown.
