According to an article in the November 27, 2009, edition of the Times Herald, Dr. Peter Fischer (’96) (Memphis, TN) received a special gift from a former patient. Peter assisted in St. Francis County Sheriff Bobby Mays’ cancer surgery. Fischer and May struck up a friendship and May learned that Peter is a fan of Elvis Presley. “May met Elvis in the 1970’s while serving as the Lee County Sheriff. He told Elvis he would have a Lee County badge ordered for him but Elvis died two months later. May held onto the badge as a memento but after meeting Fischer he felt compelled to give it to him. “I’m amazed. This is just great. My mother (Lynn Schweitzer Rush H ’68) and I set up a shrine every year during Elvis week and this will be a great addition…,” said Fischer. Congratulations are also in order for Peter on his marriage to Breland Rawlings on December 12, 2009, in Memphis. The wedding party included Andi Fischer ’98 and Alex Johnson ’96.
