On September 4, 2008 the Board of Directors of the Connecticut Academy of Family Physicians acknowledged and celebrated the 60th Anniversary of the Academy by holding an Anniversary dinner to which all past presidents of the Academy were invited.     

    It was impressive to note that 25% of the Academy presidents dating back to 1948 were present for the dinner and a number of those who are now living outside of Connecticut sent warm greetings, recalling their time as the leader of this Academy chapter.  Among those who sent notes to the Board were: Dr. Paul Edelen, Dr. John Wright, Dr. Tom Cronan, and Dr. Ronald Pinkerton.      

    Past presidents who did attend the meeting included:  Dr. Carl Conrad, Dr. Neil Brooks, Dr. Stephen O’Brien, Dr. Karl Friedman, Dr. Craig Czarsty, Dr. Nelson Walker, Dr. Charlene Li, Dr. Michael Kazakoff, Dr. Roy Zagieboylo, Dr. David Howlett, Dr. Drew Edwards, Dr. Joseph Crème and Dr. Ayaz Madraswalla as well as the current president Dr. Kathleen Mueller.
