A black-and-white newspaper clipping about Dr. David Hopkins, a veterinarian who recently opened an office in West Brattleboro, Vermont, after graduating from Cornell University, with details about his background and career.

The story begins with Dr. David Hopkins (Cornell ‘30), who in August of 1931 opened Hopkins Veterinary Clinic at his residence on Laurel St. in Brattleboro, VT.

Eventually the clinic took the name “Windham Vet Clinic,” moving to Putney Rd and servicing Brattleboro, VT and surrounding towns. The hospital provided veterinary care for both large and small animals.

In 1982, the clinic expanded and divided. “Green Mountain Bovine Clinic” was the newly established large animal hospital, while Windham Vet Clinic remained in Brattleboro and continued to see small animals.

Newspaper article titled "Windham Vet Clinic Divided" from The Brattleboro Reformer dated August 12, 1982, page 12, discussing the split of Windham Veterinary Clinic into two practices, with details about ownership, new facilities, and contact information.

The clinic has cycled through few owners in it’s near 100-year history, with Dr. Gerard “Gerry” Scanlan (Cornell ‘64) and Dr. Judith Lohmann Scanlan (Cornell ‘63) as owners from the mid-60s through 1981.

Dr. Michael Tom “Tom” Ray owned the clinic for a decade, selling it to Dr. Stephen Major (Tufts ‘89) in 1991.
