Fitzgerald’s parents, the late Drs. Joe and Alice Baker Holoubek, were wellknown in medical and Catholic circles throughout Louisiana and across the nation. Alice Baker was the eighth woman to graduate from LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans. She met Joe Holoubek during a summer fellowship at Mayo Clinic. They corresponded by letter for two years before marrying in 1939 and beginning their lives together in New Orleans with three-year fellowships. They moved to Shreveport, La., after World War II and practiced internal medicine together for more than 40 years. Dr. Joe co-founded LSU School of Medicine in Shreveport in the 1960s. Dr. Alice was a founding member of the clinical faculty.
