My Dad's in the newspaper

My Dad was quoted in the Star Tribune this morning!

Indians may lose a path to med school: http://www.startribune.com/462/story/532933.html

"Dr. Alan Johns, a member of the Oneida tribe, was an electrical engineering major on the university's Twin Cities campus in the early 1970s when he got a call "out of the blue" from Duluth. Had he thought about applying to medical school?

"I didn't know if I really wanted to be a doctor," he said. Don't you have to be in a premed program? he asked. Don't you need better-than-perfect grades? Convinced that he should give it a shot, Johns joined LaDue, who had been working as a lab technician at White Earth, and entered medical school in 1972.

Johns said he wouldn't be a doctor without the program. He splits his time between teaching at the Medical School and treating patients in Duluth."
