Perhaps the pop up ad that occupies the screen for 17 seconds before allowing access to the memoriam section is a bit disrespectful. Are the ad fees that important? Jun. 13, 2015, at 4:36 pm Reply
The American Academy of Osteopathy (AAO) is proud to count Doran A. Farnum, DO, FAAO, as one of its first fellows and one of the first Pioneers in Osteopathy inducted by the AAO, The Osteopathic Cranial Academy and the Sutherland Cranial Teaching Foundation. The AAO was privileged to have Dr. Farnum as a member since 1949, and it was honored that one of our members was the world’s oldest osteopathic physicians. Upon learning the news of Dr. Farnum’s death, the AAO’s 2015-16 president, Doris B. Newman, DO, FAAO, responded, “Our thoughts and prayers are with Dr Farnum’s family and friends. We were privileged to have such a wonderful colleague for so long.” Former AAO president John C. Glover, DO, FAAO, observed “He was a wonderful man–an excellent osteopathic physician–and he will be missed.” “It was a privilege to know him,” added Dennis J. Dowling, DO, FAAO, who also served the AAO as president. “His career was remarkable.” For more on Dr. Farnum, see the June issue of “AAO Member News” at http://digital.turn-page.com/i/532218-june-2015/2.
