A connection between Gollin and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center?

[Little Arminius]

No, Gollin does not have cancer, thankfully. Calm down. The online higher educational establishment's interests are still safe. There are also no apparent overlapping research interests. The connection is a little more personal in nature.

As Gollin announced at DD, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center President Harold Varmus grew up in Freeport, NY and graduated from their public high school, as did George Gollin.

Sloan-Kettering's president is the extraordinary (and very cool-- I've met him) Nobel laureate Harold Varmus. To my knowledge he is the most distinguished alumnus of Freeport High School.

Here's another Freeport High School grad, albeit one who lived north of Merrick Rd., in the news recently:

(This particular Freeport is in the suburbs of New York. The YoodleNoodles will flesh this out a bit, I think.)

We have, George, and in response to your anticipated thanks, ... "Your welcome!"

If Gollum thinks you are "very cool" doesn't that pretty much mean your life is over?  Maybe he confused him with Harold Ramis.

Wonder what they talked about?  Propecia vs. Rogaine?
