Remembering Dr. Jack Tuttle

By Walter Geiger

Beloved local veterinarian Dr. Jack Tuttle died January 8 at age 89. This column was originally published on August 10, 2004 on the occasion of his 80th birthday.

A cool breeze blew through my hair before Adaylight Friday morning as I walked down the sidewalk to retrieve the newspaper. Football weather, I thought. My step was a little lighter as I sauntered back up the drive, thinking of fall Saturdays in Athens.

I thought also of Dr. Jack Tuttle. Nobody is a bigger Bulldog fan than Dr. Jack who celebrated his 80th birthday Friday.
