Phyllis Larsen

It is with sad news that we report the passing of Dr. Phyllis Larsen who died on 11 August 2018. It was Phyllis who encouraged the American Veterinary History Society to join the WAHVM several years ago.

Speaking of Phyllis, former WAHVM President Susan Jones said: “We will miss Phyllis so much in the veterinary history community! She was a true "citizen of the world" and proponent of peace as well as veterinarian and historian.”

Ivan Katic

We sadly note the passing of Ivan Katic from Viby, Denmark, on 30th August. Ivan was librarian of the Copenhagen agricultural and veterinary university. He had a great interest in veterinary history, was founder and editor of Historia Medicinae Veterinariae, and together with Guus Mathijsen he worked hard on the WAHVM biography project. In 1993 he received the WAHVM Cheiron medal.
