Herb Fisher, MD, 87, of Marshfield, Mass., formerly a resident of Hingham, Mass., for more than 50 years, died of heart failure peacefully at home on Feb. 14, 2009, surrounded by his family. Dr. Fisher was a prominent and internationally known pediatric surgeon. Herb was born on a land-grant farm that had been owned by his family for more than 150 years in Tipton, Mich., population 350. He attended a one-room schoolhouse for eight years. Education was incredibly important, both his parents and grandparents were college-educated teachers. He graduated from the University of Michigan and Harvard University Medical School, class of 1946. He was a Captain in the Army Medical Corps in World War II. While at Harvard he met the love of his life, Jini Moore, whom he was married to and fascinated with for 58 years until her death in 2005. Herb became Surgeon-in-Chief at the Floating Hospital, part of New England Medical Center, for 16 years. Through his research, he developed innovative surgical techniques for open-heart surgery, cleft palates, and Hirschsprung’s Disease. As a Professor of Surgery, one of his greatest joys was teaching medical students at Tufts University Medical School and Harvard Medical School for which he won many faculty awards. He trained several leading heads of current surgical departments. He was one of the original pediatric surgeons in the Boston area. He was guest lecturer in pediatric surgery in Japan, Finland, England, Brazil and France. He later became head of the Trauma Surgical Emergency Department at Children’s Hospital in Boston, Mass. Throughout his life he gained great enjoyment from playing the violin and viola. At 6 years he began playing duets with his cousin. He later played at Carnegie Hall with the Doctor’s Symphony, with the Hingham Civic Orchestra, and in his beloved Pilgrim Quartet in which he played weekly until his mid 80s. He is survived by his four children, John Brewster Fisher of Boxford, Mass., who works for FAA, and his joyful partner, Kathleen; Martha Weaver, M.S., of Preston, Conn., a science teacher; Beth Ann Fisher of Marshfield, teacher and alternative healer; and Carol Curran of Gorham Maine, Ph.D. in Psychology, Herb’s classical concert, and her supportive husband Albert Curran. He was extremely proud of his eight grandchildren. He recently said of them, “I enjoy seeing what new ideas they have and what kind, honest people they are.” At university are Jon and Adam Fisher studying Chemical Engi­neering; Ben Fisher studying Psychology; Caleb Weaver studying Geology; Sarah Kate Weaver, recently returned from two years in the Peace Corps in Tonga; Rachelle Curran, M.S., teaches at Audubon in Maine; Sally Curran, J.D., is a public interest attorney in New York City; and Nilaya and James Palmer live in England and will soon be teaching boat building in Maine. Herb loved weekly Skyping with them. Herb was filled with curiosity and gratitude. He said, “Why I get up every morning is to see what is new today and to enjoy all of the world’s variety and how amazing it is.” The Funeral Services and Interment are to be private.

Letter to the editor: A little sacrifice for 911 Friday, February 20, 2009 10:06 PM - Dena E. Foulk |
To the editor: In today’s economy I can understand why citizens would be concerned about “another” $1.05 leaving their household per month. It is a small amount, but when you add it to the rest of the bills, that most people do not have enough to pay, it can seem overwhelming. In my opinion, however, the focus needs to be taken off the money, and we need to take a look at what will happen in our community without a Central 911 dispatch center. Since 911 was established, most of the emergency service providers in our area have eliminated their dispatch capabilities. So if we close Central Dispatch, any emergency called in would have to be handled by telephone. That means individual calls to Fire Department, Police and Ambulance Service (each service has its own separate phone number). It also means that each service would need to update to some sort of dispatch or call notification to notify each other, or tone out the department with the location of the fire, police or medical emergency. The cost of doing this, will far outweigh the “extra” $1.05 per month. Most people cannot comprehend an emergency happening to them, but, if your child was choking, or your house was on fire, in the panic of that moment could you remember the correct number that you should call to get help? It will not be as simple as “9-1-1”. Would your child know what number to dial in case of your being incapacitated? Even if you knew the number in your area, what happens if you are visiting friends in another township and something happens there? Would you be able to find the correct number to contact the help that is needed? These are the things that I think should be considered, as well as the small cost involved. I, for one, will gladly forgo one cup of coffee a month to have this service provided to my family, friends, and loved ones. |
Letters to the Editor: Please support 911 Friday, February 20, 2009 10:04 PM - Richarle L. Simpson Gier |
To the editor, On behalf of “Citizens to Continue 911” service, I would like to encourage everyone to vote Yes/911 on Feb 24. Speaking from experience of needing to call 911 several times in the past year for my mother — this is a vital service I would not like to see compromised in this county. Not only for my family, but for all Hillsdale County Residents. This is a vital, necessary service we need to maintain in Hillsdale County — one that is coordinated through a consolidated central dispatch system, and one that is ready to respond at a moment’s notice when you or a loved one are in a crisis or emergency situation. It is such a blessing to know that when you need help — all you have to do is dial that three-digit number, “9-1-1,” and there will be an immediate response on the other end of the line, along with quick action. Also, I cannot say enough for the Reading Emergency Service. Their staff and ambulance drivers are a true asset to  this community, and their compassion and professionalism has not gone unnoticed. Please vote Yes/911, for a small monthly fee — we can all have piece of mind, knowing that help is available when we need it. |
