REMEMBERING Dr. FORREST C. EGGLESTON
MY MOST CHERISHED PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENT WAS “DESTINED”
TO BE SIGNED BY Dr. EGGLESTON ONLY!
CMC graduates who learnt the art and science of surgery under his supervision will have so many fond and happy memories to share about him that, if Rev. Max Marble is not selective, he will have to publish a memorial volume for Dr. Eggleston that will be larger than the contents of his circular letters for the next ten years! Another volume will be needed to include the memoirs of all others who knew him in India and the world over.
I want to remember him from some very different aspects than his being a world-renowned teacher, surgeon, and researcher. My own familiarity with him is not from being his long-term student. I came to know him well from observing his active Christian living and from an administrative point of view when I was a faculty member and also served as the first alumnus Medical Superintendent of CMC, Ludhiana.
