Information about Dr Meyer was provided by residency classmate Bill Farr. I first met "Chip" Meyer in medical school in Cincinnati where I was teaching physiology and he was a student in one of my lab classes. We fast became friends, entered residency together at the U of A, shared an apartment, and then shared an office and practiced together at St. Mary's Hospital. After a time at St. Mary's, Chip wanted to return to his rural roots and opened a practice in Sunsites, AZ. He did that for a couple of years but then returned to Tucson and became board certified in emergency medicine and work as an emergency room physician at St. Mary's. Finally, he moved back to Ohio and joined a family practice group in Lebanon, Ohio. Chip was the best man at my wedding. We talked weekly on the phone, and I made several visits to Ohio to see him. Chip married M'Lu Rohr in Tucson and had two girls with her. He was always athletic and took up running marathons. In fact, he was training for the Boston Marathon when he died of a massive myocardial infarction while in bed on February 5, 1992. Chip was extremely bright, had a wonderful personality, was a very gifted physician and was my best friend -- I miss him greatly.
