The house at 150 Singletary Lane is a glorious Georgian style house reminiscent of George Washington's Mount Vernon. Well, it is the house that Dr. Eugene Gaston built for his family back in 1942. There is a piece of granite with his name engraved on it at the entrance of the driveway to confirm it.
Dr. Eugene Gaston was a staff surgeon at the Framingham hospital for 49 years. He was also an associate clinical professor of surgery at Boston University School of Medicine. He wrote numerous articles in medical journals about the digestive system. He was born in Peoria, Illinois, was raised in Kansas and attended the University of Kansas for three years before entering Harvard Medical School. As a side note, he was at one point the medical columnist for the magazine "Bicycling", so one can safely assume that he was an avid bicyclist.
We lived on Oregon Road in Ashland and would often see Dr. Gaston (and wave to him) as he rode his bicycle by our home.
ReplyDeleteI had the honor of being his patient at the age of 21 for an inguinal hernia. Never had a problem with that side for life!
ReplyDeleteHad three hernias on other side by three different surgeons over 50 years. He was a consummate professional. I lived in Ashland graduated from AHS in 1962.
