re: Auburn Virginia Tech opening medical school

AU has had a fine medical facility....the vet school. Because UF didnt have a vet school in early 1960 we lost Tucker Frederickson to AU and he ended up as # 1 pick in NFL draft with Giants. I was just at my vets here in Tampa Area today and he went to AU and we always talk about Tucker who he knew from school....doc told Tucker had a great practice in Ft Lauderdale area (where he went to high school I think?)I loved the Giant in the early-mid 1960s when YA Title was qb (Bald Eagle) from LSU. Del Shofner, Frank Gifford, Sam Huff (or was it Redskins)Andy Robistelli etc etc.
Back in those days your limbs were in danger of being ripped off your body....very tough sport.
Back to vet school....I used to have Salukis..a rare breed and showed them around the country and had an eye specialist from AU operate on my males eyes (tumor) in Pensacola...he would make a circuit and provide specialized care in cities that didnt have any residing there...he taught at AU also....this was 1983 or so...I was pretty bummed about 1983 game
