The third generation of Witmers includes three alumni: John Robert Witmer '85 and Catherine Witmer Workman '86 are the children of John Witmer, and Heidi Witmer '94 is the daughter of G. Robert Witmer, Jr. That's nine Rochester graduates in the immediate family--only to date, of course: G. Robert Witmer III has just finished his first year at the medical school and Jonathan Witmer, the son of Thomas Witmer, is now a member of the Class of 2001.
