Class Notes

Albert Ip, EN73, was appointed senior advisor to the president of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in November 2022 and was appointed a member of the Science and Technology Council of the Macau Special Administrative Region chaired by the chief executive in June.

Stan De Loach, LA72, has produced the YouTube channel “Diabetes, con normoglucemia” in Spanish and English for more than a year. De Loach states that people don’t realize that a person with diabetes can have normal, non-diabetic blood glucose levels 95% of the time just by choosing an “abnormal” (low-carb) diet for their body. His goal is to teach newly diagnosed people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes how to make their quality of life infinitely better with different methodologies and treatments.

Raymond Dalton, LA72, completed his career as a Veterans Administration clinical psychologist. After graduating from Washington University, his favorite professor encouraged him to delay active military duty and follow him to the campus of Indiana State University, where he earned a master’s degree in clinical psychology. When called to active duty, Dalton served as a behavioral scientist officer with the U.S. Air Force. He constructed psychometric instruments and counseled alcoholics. This combination caught the attention of the chairman of the psychology department at Arizona State University and led to his earning a doctorate in clinical psychology.

J. Stuart Showalter, LW71, published the 10th edition of his textbook, The Law of Healthcare Administration (Health Admin. Press, 2023). In the 1990s he taught health law in the Health Administration Program of Washington University School of Medicine and also taught the subject at Saint Louis University, the University of Central Florida, San Diego State University and La Sierra University (Riverside, Calif.). Retired, he lives near family in Williston, Vt.

Joe Madison, LA71, LW19, was selected as a recipient of the Council Award of Special Recognition from the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). Madison was honored as part of the ASALH’s efforts to defend the teaching of Black history in Florida and to support the citizens, teachers and scholars who are on the front line against the laws that hinder the teaching of the truth in the state. Madison is the host of a daily program, “The Black Eagle,” on SiriusXM’s Urban View (channel 126)

Frank B. Ford, LA70, won the Editor Award at the North American Lily Society’s annual International Lily Show and Symposium held in Chicago in July. He won for his article “How’d I Do That? Taking a tissue culture bulblet of Lilium gloriosoides from pinky-tip size to glorious bloom,” which was published in the March 2023 issue of The North American Lily Society bulletin (and his photo of the blossom was the cover photo).

James W. McKay, LA69, retired in 2012 from a career in mental health, mentoring and social services.

William F. Siedhoff, UC68, SW73, was honored by the St. Louis Crisis Nursery, which dedicated its outreach center as the William F. Siedhoff Family Empowerment Center in honor of Siedhoff’s commitment to the City of St. Louis, the homeless population and children at risk. Siedhoff recently established the William F. Siedhoff Foundation, which provides grants focused on the needs of children and families in the City of St. Louis. While semi-retired, he currently serves as chair of five social service and educational organizations. He also was recently appointed to the Brown School National Council at WashU and is a member of the Danforth Circle Committee of the Eliot Society.

Sandy Rothschild, LA67, GB71, was elected treasurer of the board of directors of the Great Rivers Environmental Law Center, which is a nonprofit providing free or reduced-rate legal services that attempt to protect the environment and public health. Previously, Rothschild operated his own company, Sandy Rothschild & Associates, Inc. for 25 years until a medical condition forced him to close it. The company had been highly successful at helping clients reduce property taxes and in other areas. Rothschild is also a dedicated WashU volunteer, serving a term on the Alumni Board of Governors, five years on the Eliot Society (he’s now a Life Eliot member), and many years as a member of the travel committee and the executive committee of the W Club. He’s also a “super fan” — a regular and enthusiastic supporter of Bears sports.
