Senescence ends when disease sets in — likeheart disease, cancer or stroke,” he said.“We want to see Obamacare succeed.We’re interested not just in quality of life,but the political and cultural environmentin which it exists.”Another return from retirement camein 2002, when Douglas, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, became the only suchspecialist serving public aid patients inLake County. He did this on a part-timebasis until 2012.He also practiced on Chicago’s WestSide from 1964 to 1968, when his officeburned down during the riots that followed the assassination of Dr. MartinLuther King Jr.“It was one of the most painful experiences of my life, because I had derived somuch satisfaction from taking care of allthose truly needy patients,” he said.Douglas is a disabled Navy veteran ofWorld War II and the Korean War, withhearing loss caused by repeatedly firing aBruce Douglas, adjunct clinical professor of environmental and occupational health sciences, has retired six times.

HarrisonField, at the northwest corner of Harrison and Halstedstreets on the UIC campus, would be the academic site. A23-acre, vacant, city-owned lot in North Lawndale, bounded by Roosevelt Road and Kostner, Kildare and Fifth avenues, would be the community site.The North Lawndale parcel would house the library,museum and acres of new parkland. Mayor Rahm Emanuel,in a Nov. 21 letter to the Barack Obama Foundation, supported the conveyance of the land and the reopening of theCTA Blue Line Kostner station if the location is chosen.The Steans Family Foundation, which concentrates its philanthropic grants in North Lawndale, announced a 5 million pledge to support the site.At Harrison Field, UIC proposes a visitors’ center and anew “O-4 Institute” for academic-civic collaboration,named for “optimism, outreach, opportunity and one world,VIDEOS AT YOUTUBE.COM/UICMEDIA“Obama Presidential Library proposal”“A destiny of transformation”“Signed, Sealed, Delivered”extending to the four corners ofthe world,” in keeping with theObama policy agenda.The O-4 Institute wouldhost fellowships for academicsand junior fellowships for highschool students.
