F. Wayne Hollinger ’47

Body

Word has recently reached the class of the death of Dr. Wayne Hollinger on May 29, 1994, in Shabbona, Ill. His home was on Lake Holiday in Sandwich, Ill. At Princeton Wayne was a member of the Navy's V12 unit. After the war he went on to study medicine at the U. of Chicago medical school, from which he received his MD degree in 1949. A specialist in internal medicine, as a young physician he served for 10 years on the staff of the Hypertension Clinic of the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and taught at the Wayne State U. medical school. He was in private practice in Plano, Ill., for 10 years before moving to Sandwich.

According to our 10th-reunion book, the last for which he provided information about himself, Wayne was the author of several papers on his subject. He was a member of the American College of Physicians and the Illinois Internal Medical Assn. When not checking the blood pressure of patients, he could be found pursuing his hobby, trout fishing. Presumably, Lake Holiday provided ample waters for this agreeable sport. He is survived by his wife, Madelyne, whom he married in Detroit in 1950. To her, the class belatedly offers its profound sympathy.
