out story subjects' contact information, for obvious reasons, we are always glad to forward queries like this. If readers are interested in following up on a story in our pages, just get in touch with us at the magazine.

Body of knowledge
After learning about NPR's coverage of the Dartmouth Medical School memorial service for the cadavers that students use in their anatomy studies [see the Summer 2005 issue of Dartmouth Medicine], I wanted to find out how I could arrange to donate my body. Thank you.

Anne Grant

Observation post
Thank you for featuring me in the "Clinical Observation" section of Dartmouth Medicine's Winter issue. Numerous people have come up to me and mentioned seeing it, both in and out of the Medical Center. It has been a great ice-breaker, and I have had fun conversations with lots of people with whom, previously, I might have just passed the time of day.

John Seigne, M.D.

Supportive role
Please add me to your rolls to receive Dartmouth Medicine. My son is a first-year student at DMS, and I greatly enjoyed being a "second reader" of the copies of the magazine that he received during his visits to the School. Your perspectives and approach to health-related issues are highly informative and exceptional in their scope, variety, and writing quality. As I strive to play a supportive role during the course of my son's medical education, Dartmouth Medicine will be a helpful tool for my own learning and understanding.

Be sure to tell us when you move! If your address changes and you want to keep getting Dartmouth Medicine, just tear off the address panel from the back of a recent issue, write your new address next to the old one, and mail it to: Dartmouth Medicine, 1 Medical Center Drive (HB 7070), Lebanon, NH 03756. It helps us greatly— since our mailing list is drawn from six separate databases—if you send the actual cover or a copy of it. If that's not possible, please include both your old and new addresses. Note, too, that if you receive more than one copy of the magazine, it's because of those six databases (which are in different formats, so they can't be automatically "de-duped"). We're happy to eliminate duplications, but it's a help to have the address panel on all the copies you get, not just the one(s) you'd like deleted.

Thank you for the chance to receive an excellent publication.

Personal insight
I am writing to request a subscription to Dartmouth Medicine. I am an L.P.N. and currently work at Bellows Falls Pediatrics. The doctor I work with receives your magazine, and he always tells me I am welcome to read his copy—if I can find it!

I am on the phone almost daily with the DHMC Physician Connection Line, and I go to many DHMC nursing conferences. I enjoy the magazine, as it puts so much of what I do at DHMC on a personal level,

so I would appreciate being sure I can read every issue.

By the way, I believe Mary Hitchcock, after whom your hospital was named, was born in Drewsville, where I live.

Mary Hitchcock was indeed born in Drewsville, in 1834.

Informative source
I'd like to be added to your list of subscribers. I have been reading the magazine for several years, obtaining a copy whenever I'm at DHMC. I find it extremely informative and want to be sure I receive/read every issue.

Class action
I was recently admitted to the DMS class that will start in the fall of 2006. While I was in Hanover for my interviews, I was given a copy of Dartmouth Medicine and I loved it.

I wonder—am I eligible to receive a subcription at my home here in Arizona? If so, I would love to get on your mailing list. Many thanks!

Mark Tyson
Tucson, Ariz.

Article aficionado
I am the father of a premed student at Colgate and also make quarterly visits to my neurologist, Dr. Thomas Ward, at DHMC, where I have often enjoyed the articles in Dartmouth Medicine.

I notice that it's possible to be added to your mailing list. May I please subscribe?
