Dentist Grateful for Care Excellent eyesight was crucial to Dr. Herbert E. Weston’s profession as a dentist, yet he has battled eye conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts from the time he was in his 40s. Ophthalmologists at the Kellogg Eye Center, including former chair F. Bruce Fralick, helped preserve his vision, and he is grateful, Dr. Weston says. He has been contributing to the Annual Fund for more than 10 years.
“The Kellogg Eye Center is helping
people like me see properly in order to do their work and carry on their lives productively,” he says. “We need to support a place that is working to that end.”
Vision Important to Mom When Carla J. Pfuhl decided to include the Kellogg Eye Center in her estate plans, she was thinking about her children. “My mother was legally blind, and she wanted to make sure that my eyesight could be saved,” says daughter Darlene M. Smith. Several members of the Pfuhl family have vision difficulties, and Mrs. Pfuhl’s son had graduated from the University of the Michigan, so Kellogg was a good fit for her generosity, her daughter says. The Eye Center received a gift for research to cure macular degeneration when Mrs. Pfuhl passed away earlier this year. Mrs. Pfuhl, who lived in Milford and loved to play bridge, raised three children and had a “wonderful life,” Mrs. Smith says. “She was the most wonderful woman. She cared about other people.”
