Unvaccinated Children & the Duty to Warn
To the Editor:
Our doctor recently dismissed us. I think it is entirely wrong. I started vaccines but then stopped shortly thereafter when our son displayed signs of an adverse reaction. The doctor we saw said it was normal and urged us to do vaccinations at our next visit. I researched more and made my decision as an educated parent.

Teacher Education: Who’s on First?
To the Editor:
Brilliant and insightful. As someone who was a colleague of Dr. Alter’s, I can say without reservation, that he was always way ahead of the curve (it was the fastball, he had difficulty with). Never-the-less well done, a blue print for future success for our students.

Exclusive Interview with Dean Jerrold Ross, St. John’s University, School of Education
To the Editor:
Excellent overview of an extraordinary educator. When Dr. Ross was directing the Music program at NYU, he was awarded a million dollar grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to create The National Arts Education Center for Research. Dean Ross’ lifelong dedication to exemplary teaching and learning has benefited generations of educators and their students in every discipline.

Muriel Petioni, M.D., Saves Harlem Hospital From Closing
To the Editor:
This is a wonderful article of the important black female physician whom we knew all our lives because she was at Howard Medical School as was her late father, Dr. John V. Golding, Sr. in the 1930s. She was a legend who lived for 100 years until she passed in 2011! She was a family friend and inspiration to all female physicians regardless of ethnicity. She will always be remembered and greatly missed for all her contributions to the Harlem Community like her venerable physician father, whom we remember as children.
