Marvin Hoffman '50M (Res) received an Award of Merit for outstanding service to the medical profession and the community from the Rochester Academy of Medicine. Hoffman, senior medical director for Blue Cross Blue Shield of the Rochester Area, has practiced medicine in the area for more than 40 years. A clinical professor emeritus of medicine at the School ofMedicine and Dentistry, Hoffman has a scholarship fund named in his honor. To date, there have been 33 Hoffman scholars. . . . Charles and Elizabeth (Libby) Hoke e-mail an update: They married on May 19, 1945, at Libby's home in Washington, D.C. Shortly after the marriage, Charles entered the Navy, where he stayed until retiring as a captain in 1971. Libby worked as a librarian with the Montgomery County Libraries from 1967 to 1989. They have five children-Charles, Elizabeth, Gregory, Nancy, and Coursen-and have 13 grandchildren. The couple lives in Bethesda, Md. . . . In recognition of the Class of 1945's 55th reunion during Sesquicentennial Weekend, Warren Richardson sent updated results of his study "What Happened to the University of Rochester Class of 1945-Men Freshmen in September 1941." Because of the war, men who first entered Rochester in the fall of 1941 eventually received their diplomas in 11 different years, from 1944 to 1969. "Perhaps the graduates of 'our class' were spread over a greater number of years than any other Rochester class," Richardson notes. Elsewhere he writes of the 196 men who were original, first-year members of the class in 1941: "Only 54 members of 'our class' had no interruption because of the war. These people graduated in 1944 (32) and 1945 (22). The remaining 142 were scattered for various reasons. Some served in the military, some transferred to other schools, and some joined the work force. At various points in time, 87 returned to the University and graduated, while 55 did not return. Three of those who did not return were killed in the war. Of the 52 remaining non-returnees, 10 eventually affiliated with the Class of '45 and one with the Class of '44." Richardson (along with help from various University offices) was unable to track the whereabouts or the fates of the last 41 men.
