As a Fredericton pediatrician, I join MP Andy Scott in recognizing my longtime colleague, the late Bob Chalmers.1 However, Dr. Bob was not “for over 10 years … the only gynecologist in the city.” Anna Loane, after practising obstetrics and gynecology at Women's College Hospital in Toronto for 3 years, opened her office in Fredericton in November 1951 and practised her specialty until her retirement in 1985. At the time Loane started practising here, Dr. Bob had left his general practice to do postgraduate training, returning in 1952 to open his practice in obstetrics and gynecology.
