"Joe Myers died Aug. 31, 2000, of emphysema at his home in Jamesville, N.Y.

Joe was born and reared in Akron, Ohio, and graduated from Western Reserve Academy. At Princeton he majored in chemistry and joined Tower Club. He excelled at track, was team captain our senior year, and held the quarter-mile record for many years. He also played IAA touch football and billiards. His roommates included Bill Burks and Cal Edgar. J. K.'s loyalty and competitiveness are remembered fondly by those who knew him.

Joe attended Columbia P&S and continued his medical training at SUNY's Upstate Medical Center, where he completed his residency and spent a year in research. He practiced general and vascular surgery in Syracuse for 30 years, retiring in 1995. Joe was an attending surgeon at Community and Crouse Hospitals and a clinical professor at SUNY. He was a fellow of the American College of Surgeons and was active over the years with numerous medical-related organizations at both local and state levels.

Joe is survived by his wife, Sarah, daughters Elizabeth Brakely and Barbara Buckley, sons John B. '89 and Joseph K. III '80, and 10 grandchildren. To all of them the class extends its deep sympathy.

Baschi Meyer Project

• If Joseph is in your family tree, please consider joining the The Baschi Meyer Project: Descendants, Documentation, and DNA.
• Given the challenging state of documentation from earlier generations, the Baschi Meyer Project is looking for male-line Meyer descendants willing to participate in Y-DNA testing to help figure out who is descended from whom.
• A Y-DNA test from a descendant of one of Joseph's sons will help determine his connection to other descendants.
