'88 People You Know We received two apparently contradictory responses to the historical photo on the back of the Spring 2013 issue of Illinois Medicine, so in the spirit of a good debate here they are: Beth De Salvo of Scottsdale, Ariz., wife of John W. De Salvo '85, MD '89, said she recognized the man standing to the right of the ice cream vendor as her father, Howard Turk. Now retired, Turk was in pharmacy school at the time, and he believes the photo was taken in 1956 or 1957. "It was pretty cool seeing this picture, and it really proves that there is a small world since it was a publication that came to my husband," she writes. "Thanks for giving our family a piece of the past!" But wait! George Charnecki, MD '64, recognizes the person second from the right—who would be the person to the right of the ice cream vendor—as himself, and the third person from the right, wearing glasses, as David Boyd, MD '58. Charnecki says the photo was also used in Scope, a University of Illinois publication from the winter of 1985, portraying Polk and Wood streets as they looked in 1958. illinois medicine | 43
