Charles Gordon Roland Charles Gordon “Chuck” Roland was born on January 25, 1933, in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Jack and Leona Roland. After a long and distinguished career as an author, editor, and Hannah Professor of the History of Medicine at McMaster University, Dr. Roland died at the age of 76 on June 9, 2009, in Burlington, Ontario.〔Abbate, Gay, “Charles Roland, 76/ Physician: Medical historian collected oral histories from ghetto, labour camp survivors,” Toronto Globe and Mail (June 27, 2009)〕 Dr. Roland is survived by two sisters, Carol and Nancy; his wife Connie Rankin Roland; four children, John, Dr. Christopher, David, and Kathleen; six grandchildren, Alexandra, Gordon, Emma, Jackson, Max, and Katie; three stepchildren, Greg, Chris, and Randi; and four stepgrandchildren, Joshua, Angharad, Austin, and Roy. Dr. Roland's publications and public lectures were numerous and consisted of history and bibliography, medical communications, and medicine, particularly Canadian medical history in the 19th century, the influence of Sir William Osler, and on military medicine. His research interests focused on medical aspects of World War II, culminating in two seminal books on the Warsaw Ghetto and on Canadian prisoners of war of the Japanese in the Far East.〔Obituary, Charles Gordon Roland, Rochester Post Bulletin, June 15, 2009 (www.postbulletin.com).〕 ==Early life== Dr. Roland spent his early years at God’s Lake, 603 kilometres north of Winnipeg, where his father Jack was the mine accountant. He had his own dogsled team to take him to the one-room schoolhouse. When the school closed, he was sent to board with a family in Flin Flon, Manitoba to finish his schooling. In Dr. Roland's final year of high school, his father entered a Toronto sanitarium for tuberculosis and the family relocated to be near him. Chuck completed high school at Toronto’s Oakwood Collegiate. He was determined to attend university despite the family’s poor financial state. With savings from his many jobs and financial aid from a Toronto doctor, he was able to attend the University of Toronto. There he met and married Marjorie Kyles. After graduation, they went to Winnipeg where he entered the University of Manitoba medical school. He earned university tuition by working as a bellhop at Chateau Lake Louise in Alberta where he became a mountain climber. His proficiency came in handy one year when he was heavily involved in the rescue of three Mexican climbers stuck on a glacier after four of their friends fell to their death.〔Roland, Charles, “First lines on death,” Medical Bulletin 14: 77-79 (December)〕 In 1958, Dr. Roland graduated M.D., BSc. (Medicine) from the University of Manitoba. After internship at St. Boniface Hospital, Dr. Roland began general practice in Tillsonburg, Ontario in 1958 and then a year later with a practice in Grimsby, Ontario. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Gordon Roland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
