George C. Summerfield

George C. Summerfield, professor emeritus of nuclear engineering and of macromolecular science and engineering, died July 22, 1996 at his Ann Arbor home. He was 81.

Holt spent his entire academic career at the University, where he began as assistant resident in 1939, became assistant professor of radiology in 1944, associate professor in 1947 and professor in 1953. He retired in 1984.

"It is hard to overestimate the esteem in which Dr. Holt has been held by his colleagues around the world," said Michael A. DiPietro, professor of radiology. "As a surprise gift for Dr. Holt on his retirement, we collected and bound the many wonderful letters of congratulations which had been sent to him from colleagues and former students from around the world. Reading those letters truly impressed us with the vast scope of his influence on pediatric radiology and how admired and liked he was."

Holt graduated from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School in 1938. He was considered one of the "fathers" of pediatric radiology, co-authoring the prominent radiology teaching textbook of the era, Radiology for Medical Students. He was recognized as the world's premiere radiologic authority on neurofibromatosis and, in 1966, the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation of New York awarded Holt an honorary plaque for his "invaluable contributions" to the field. He also was editor of the Year Book of Radiology for more than 20 years.

He was a charter member of the Society for Pediatric Radiology, as well as its third president, and served as president of the Association of University Radiologists. He also served on and headed a variety of international, national and University committees, including the planning committee for C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, which opened in 1969. He later became the hospital's first director of pediatric radiology.

In 1995, Holt received the Hench Award as outstanding alumnus of the University of Pittsburgh Medical School, and in 1996 he received the U-M Medical Center Alumni Society Award.

Holt is survived by his wife of 54 years, Mary Helen; two daughters; a son; two grandsons; and a sister.

Memorial contributions may be made to the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation, 95 Pine St., 16th Floor, New York, NY 10005; the Arthritis Foundation, P.O. Box 995, Ann Arbor, MI 48106; or the U-M Department of Radiology, 1500 Medical Center Drive, Room UH-BIG503, Ann Arbor, MI 48109.

Raymond H. Kahn

Raymond H. Kahn, emeritus professor of anatomy and cell biology at the Medical School, died in Ann Arbor July 15, 1996. He was 83.

Metzner was active in the field of social medicine and medical care organization. His research focused on the application of social science theory and methodology to social policy issues in medical care, including access, use and financing of health services.

"Dr. Metzner, who developed the School's Ph.D. program in medical care organization---the first such program in the country---provided much of the training in research design received by decades of Ph.D. students in medical care organization. Many of his students went on to become leaders in health services research nationally," said John R.C. Wheeler, chair of the Department of Health Management and Policy.

"Chuck was one of the most widely read people I have ever met," added Rashid Bashshur, professor of health management and policy and a close colleague. "He was a true Renaissance man, who could discuss ancient history, the Bible, classical and modern literature, statistics, and psychology as well as health care."

Metzner joined the U-M in 1946 as a study director for the Survey Research Center, where he conducted a number of notable surveys and then joined the School of Public Health in 1951. He became associate professor of community health services in 1953 and professor of medical care organization in 1965. He retired in 1983.

His many publications include studies of the statistical properties of medical care data and the psychology of choice behavior.

He is survived by his wife, Helen; sons, Eric of Washington, D.C., and Paul of Spokane, Wash.; and two grandchildren. A memorial service will be held in the fall. Memorial contributions may be made to the ACLU Foundation, OX FAM America, the Southeast Michigan Science Fair or a charity of your choice.

John J. Brownfain

John J. Brownfain, professor emeritus of psychology at the U-M-Dearborn, born in Philadelphia in 1920. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Temple University, and a doctorate in clinical psychology from the U-M in 1950.

In addition to his wife, Brownfain is survived by his daughter, Ellen, who lives in San Francisco. His son, Benjamin, died last year.

Memorial contributions may be made to the U-M-Dearborn Student Scholarship Fund, 4901 Evergreen Rd., Dearborn, MI 48128-1491; or to the Benjamin Brownfain Memorial Fund of the Jewish Federation of Portland, 6651 Southwest Capitol Highway, Portland, OR 97219
