FROM THE

DEAN

T he Summer 2009edition of the Scripthighlights the manyaccomplishments andcontinued excellence ofour alumni, faculty, andstudents during the2008 year. The Scriptalso reflects the overallmission of the Collegeof Pharmacy to advancepharmaceutical care forthe people of Ohio andthe global community through our teaching,through our research, and through our service.In particular, this year’s publication highlightsthe exceptional achievements of our alumniand the breadth and depth of alumniengagement in a wide variety of areas inpharmacy.

In the 2008-2009 academic year, ouracademic programs remain very strong androbust. A total of 490 students were enrolled inour entry-level Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD)program, and the Nontraditional PharmD(NTPD) program had 60 students enrolled.The fourth-year class (P-4) of 117 studentsengaged in clerkship rotations locally,nationally, and internationally during the pastyear. At the undergraduate level, the BS inPharmaceutical Sciences program enrolledapproximately 475 students as majors inAutumn 2008. Many of our top students inthis program enter our PharmD program,while others have gone on to graduate school,medical school, or one of many career options.Our graduate programs in the College ofPharmacy continue the tradition of excellence,with approximately 90 students enrolled thisfall in the areas of medicinal chemistry andpharmacognosy, pharmaceutics, pharmacology,and pharmaceutical administration. In 2007-08, 14 PhD degrees and 19 MS degrees wereawarded.

The high quality and the maturity of ourstudents extend well beyond their academicaccomplishments in the classrooms.Involvement in student professionalorganizations, engagement in researchexperiences, and participation in nationalmeetings are excellent opportunities forstudents to develop “outside” the classroomand to network with other students, faculty,and pharmacy colleagues from around thenation. Our students and the studentprofessional organizations such as the APhAAcademy of Students of Pharmacy (ASP),Student Society of Health-System Pharmacists(SSHP), student affiliate of the Academy ofManaged Care Pharmacy (AMCP), and theStudent National Pharmaceutical Association(SNPhA) continue to receive recognitions bothlocally and nationally. PharmD studentsengaged in senior outreach activities at various

^^^

Life-Care Alliance and Catholic SocialServices senior retirement communities.Service-learning activities included studentsserving at health related events (i.e. healthfairs, diabetes screenings, flu clinics, etc.),community-based programs for underservedpeople, brown-bag medicine reviews,tutoring, and assisting senior citizens inexamining Medicare Part D plans. Faculty,students, and alumni are actively involved inour new Generation Rx Initiative andlearning community, encompassing K-12educational programing, prescription drugabuse workshops, and partnerships withColumbus organizations.

The strong academic programs inprofessional, graduate, and undergraduateeducation and the excellent research andscholarship are a reflection of the high qualityfaculty, students, researchers, and staff of theCollege. Faculty in the pharmaceuticalsciences are discovering mechanismsregulating cell growth, identifying novelmolecules for potential therapies for cancer orinfectious diseases, and investigatingunderlying causes for cardiovascular diseasesand neurodegeneration. Our faculty inpharmacy practice are engaged in innovativepractice models of pharmaceutical care andmedication therapy management. In October2008, Dr. Milap Nahata was elected to theInstitute of Medicine, National Academies ofSciences. This is a tremendous honor andrecognition of the outstanding teaching andresearch career of Dr. Nahata, and he is thefirst person with a pharmacy background tobe appointed to the IOM from the State ofOhio.

We celebrate many “Points of BuckeyePride.” These include our PharmD programobtaining a ranking of 5th in the 2008 USNews & World Report, our PhD programobtaining the “high quality” rating in theOSU Graduate School review in 2008, and afaculty productivity ranking of 2nd inPharmacy in 2007 by an independentorganization that examines academicrankings. And of course, greater than 6,300alumni of the College of Pharmacy supportthe College’s students and faculty in manyimportant ways. Many of us have the uniqueopportunity to visit with our outstandingalumni at the Alumni Governing Boardmeetings, at various professional pharmacy orpharmaceutical sciences meetings, andindividual visits in the pharmacy orpharmaceutical industry. Furthermore, ouralumni preceptors mentor our pharmacystudents through clerkship rotations,internships, and participation in professionalorganizations.

I again wish to extend my deepestappreciation and thanks for your involvementand support for our students and thecommitment of our alumni to The OhioState University. Thank you for all you do forthe profession, for the University, and for theCollege.

Students First,Students Now to SupportPharmacy Need-BasedScholarships

As we reflect on theacademic year andsend off the 2009 classof graduates, as acollege we are also looking at the next severalyears for our future pharmacists, teachers,researchers and leaders who are working sohard to obtain their degree. These studentsface a unique economic environment as theypiece together the family finances, loans andpart-time jobs to cover tuition, room andboard. We hope you will consider joining thefaculty and staff of Ohio State and the Collegeof Pharmacy in support of the Students First,Students Now scholarship fund raisinginitiative.

Introduced by President E. Gordon Gee inDecember 2008, Students First, StudentsNow is a university-wide goal designed toensure continued access to education for OhioState students. Since many families will meetfinancial hardships due to the currentrecessive economy, the university and theCollege of Pharmacy are committed tohelping students enter Ohio State and stayenrolled once they arrive.

The College of Pharmacy has a $1 milliongoal over the next two years to support ourstudents. The major focus is scholarshipdollars for BSPS students, the pipeline to ourPharmD and graduate programs. These youngpeople across the nation are at risk of notreturning to college due to parental job loss,fewer bank loans, and disappearing part timejobs that help to make up the gap betweenaffording Ohio State and not returning toschool.

The College continues to shine as a resultof the hard work of everyone involved in thepharmacy profession. To advance the College’smission and raise the bar of our programs, weneed to be there for our students, the brightstars of the future, who will continue thelegacy by improving the health professionsand, moreover, our communities.

The College is promoting the Dean’sGeneral Scholarship fund (#312755) foremergency support and need basescholarships. Please consider a gift or pledgeto this or any of our scholarship funds tocount towards Students First, Students Now.A list can be found at www.giveto.osu.edu(click on: Additional Giving Opportunities).For our more senior alumni, please see page21 for a creative gift opportunity and taxbenefit as a possibility for supporting youralma mater.

FROM THE

Alumni Affairs Director

You have done itagain!

The announcement wasmade at the May 5, 2009Professional AlumniSocieties meeting byCraig Little, '84, theDirector of AlumniSociety’s for the OSUAlumni Association. TheCollege of Pharmacy isthe highest of all OSUcolleges in the percentageof alumni who are paidmembers in The Ohio State University AlumniAssociation at 36%. (The College has held thisposition for several years.) Congratulations to allalumni for showing what you stand for.However, the executive committee of the CollegeAlumni Governing Board wonders why thesealumni do not join the Pharmacy Alumni Societyin the same percentage. About 24% of PharmacyCollege alumni join the Alumni Society. There isa gap between the 2200 in the OSU Alumniassociation and the 1500 Society members.Please join the Pharmacy Alumni Society now, asplans are being laid for a “members only” webpage and events. Access to athletic ticketsthrough the College will depend on membershipin both the society and the association.

In 2010, the alumni governing board hasmade it easier to be a Lifetime Member of boththe Pharmacy Society and the OSU AlumniAssociation. The Society will offer for the firsttime, a Lifetime Membership in the PharmacyAlumni Society. Watch for the 2010 Membership Statement for the details. And, topay your 2009 Society dues, there is a link on theCollege Alumni web site page for a membershipstatement. The College web site iswww.pharmacy.ohio-state.edu and look for theAlumni & Friends link.

2010 will mark the 125th Anniversary of TheOhio State University’s College of Pharmacy andthere will be wonderful events available to helpthe College celebrate this milestone. Some of thecelebration will be on Reunion Weekend onSeptember 3, 4 & 5, 2010 which will be LaborDay weekend. So, mark your planners now sothat you will be available to participate in thecelebrations. The Alumni Football Tailgate Partywill be for the Marshall University game onSeptember 4, 2010. Plans are still being made tomark this College Anniversary, so stay tuned.

The 2009 Pharmacy Alumni Society electionswere successful, as many of you are willing toserve your College and University. Particularlysatisfying, is that through this process, theSociety goals for diversity and for increasedparticipation by younger alumni were met.Thank you to all 48 of you who participated!Congratulations to Barbara Jo Ague, BS ’77,R.Ph., MSA, who was elected Alumni SocietyGoverning Board Vice President.

FROM THE

Alumni Society President

“Individualcommitment to agroup effort—thatis what makes ateam work, acompany work, asociety work, acivilization work.”

Vince Lombardi,Football Coach

Your Ohio State University College ofPharmacy Alumni Society Governing Board hasbeen committed. The Board has continued tofocus on our recently developed Strategic Planwith a special emphasis on membership andcommunication. The Board has created a newdues-based LIFE membership category (not tobe confused with our Honorary LifeMembership Award). Over 2500 of the Collegeof Pharmacy graduates are life members of TheOhio State University Alumni Association.Offering this same option for our Ohio StateUniversity College of Pharmacy Alumni Societymakes sense. The Charter Life Membershipcategory has been set at $700. Some financialmechanics still need to be determined, so watchfor specific details later in the year.

One of the key components to enhancingcommunications is our website:www.pharmacy.ohio-state.edu. Be sure to visitthe website and update your biographicalinformation. While you are there, check out the26th Annual Alumni Awards section.Congratulations to all of our award recipients.

My last official act at the Awards Banquet asyour Alumni Society President was to “pass thegavel” to Larry Schieber as our incomingPresident. Larry has been a very effective Boardmember, and he will provide great leadership tothe Society. I want to thank all of the Boardmembers, Lou Marcy, Dean Bob Brueggemeier,Shannon Weiher, and Tanya McDay for all oftheir support. But most of all, I want to thankall of The Ohio State University College ofPharmacy Alumni Society members for givingme the honor of serving as your 2007-2009President.

The Marraro Gift ofApothecary History

Vito “Vic” Marraro, PhG, a graduate ofColumbia University College of Pharmacy in1923, and his wife Josephine “Dolly” Marraro,traveled extensively throughout the world. Eachtime they arrived at a location for the first time,they looked for a native ceramic apothecary jarto purchase to mark the occasion of their visit.Fortunately for us, they grew their finds into thevast collection that we are privileged to seetoday. And, further, they and their son RobertV. Marraro, Ph.D., an alumnus of The OhioState University, and his wife, Barbara L.Marraro, JD preserved and protected thecollection carefully, so that we can enjoy itsbeauty and historical value today.

Robert and Barbara Marraro have made a giftof this marvelous historical collection to theOSU College of Pharmacy, where it is ondisplay in the Dean’s conference room. TheOhio State University and the College ofPharmacy are blessed by their kind andthoughtful gift! The display shelving in theconference room seems to have been made forthis collection, as it fits perfectly.

Packing, shipping, unpacking and placing the(36) apothecary jars and 3 mortar and pestlestook some time and extra care. The collection isvalued at many thousands of dollars and theindividual pieces are irreplaceable! However, ithas been a true pleasure from start to finish anda privilege to handle and preserve such awonderful collection of pharmacy history.Thanks to Dean Bob Brueggemeier, theCollege, and the Pharmacy Alumni Society forsupporting this effort. And, a special thank youto Alan S. Katz, BS ’61 for making the first visiton behalf of the College & Society to theMarraro’s former home in Sun City Center,Florida and for fostering the project from startto finish.

Please stop by Lloyd M. Parks Hall Room217 when you visit the campus to see thecollection. (Please call ahead for convenientaccess to the room.) It is hoped that the displayof the collection will be a fitting tribute to Vito“Vic” Marraro, PhG and Josephine “Dolly”Marraro and to the Profession of Pharmacy.

Stepping up to the challenge ofleadership

One of the best blessings of my life is the factthat I’ve encountered so many people whoshowed me what true leadership is all about.

From my youngest days until now I’ve comein contact with a number of role models whoshowed me the necessity of strong leadership.Some of those people would be familiar namesto you (Woody Hayes immediately comes tomind) but others are not quite as well known.

Still, whether they were famous or not thebest leaders I’ve met shared some very similartraits. All were good at setting goals but evenbetter at crafting the plans that helped youachieve those goals. All understood theinterpersonal dynamics that can make or breaka project or team. And all had the consistentfocus you need to stay the course even whenthings look bleak.

These elements are things I’ve put to usesince I took over leadership of the AlumniAssociation. We set the ambitious goal of beingthe biggest and best alumni organization thenput together a strategic plan to direct thoseefforts. And while I can’t say that we have yetachieved the goal of being the biggest, I amconfident in saying that we’ve moved muchcloser to being the best.

Today, we offer more programs and servicesthan we did in the past. Our online capabilitieshave improved immensely and will continue toprogress in the coming months. We truly feelthat we are putting the pieces in place to makesome major transformational jumps in the nextfew years. At the same time, we recognize thatwe can’t be satisfied with progress. Satisfactioncan lead to complacency, and we will never be acomplacent organization under my watch.

So what does this mean to you?I understand that guiding clubs and societies

presents even more challenges from a leadershipperspective. Our constituent groups arepowered by the spirit of togetherness andvolunteerism, but members are not being paidfor their efforts. This presents a challenge to the

leaders of thesegroups. How doyou keep peopleengaged andfocused in effortsthat may lack atangible personalbenefit?

First, I thinkthat it is necessaryto recognize thecommon bondthat brings us alltogether. Onething all Buckeyes

have in common is a great love of Ohio State.We all want to see our university grow andimprove. Much like I have the goal of being thebiggest and best alumni association, PresidentGee wants to see Ohio State rise to a position ofeminence in the world of academia. We can allplay a role in that effort and being organizedmakes that impact even more powerful.

I also think there’s a great deal of importancein goal-setting. Your group should have a cleargoal or goals that all members are workingtogether to achieve. Whether it’s to raisescholarship money, advocate for the university,or recognize tremendous faculty members, yourgroup should have a clear goal in mind. Activityfor activity’s sake is great, but purposeful activityis more valuable.

Lastly, I think that there must always be focuson growth that starts from leadership. All of ourconstituent groups have Ohio State alumniaudiences they’ve yet to reach. It is up to you tohelp find these people and get them engaged. NoBuckeye should even be able to say that no onehas reached out to them. That would be anopportunity missed.

The challenge of leadership is clearly not aneasy one to meet. Nothing worth anything is. Atthe same time, our university has given you thetools to lead effectively. I know you can do it.

1933 Graduate –Stephen B Raynes

He couldn’t figure out why I wanted tointerview him; said there was nothing unusualor outstanding in his life, or career, that wouldbe of interest to anyone. How wrong he was!Mr. Stephen B. Raynes, 99 years old this year,retired pharmacist and OSU alumnus from Troy,Ohio shared some wonderful stories as astudent, pharmacist and family man.

Listening to him speak, it was clear to me thatI was in the presence of a member of our‘greatest generation’. Born on a farm in 1910 inBuffalo, West Virginia, Mr. Raynes’ familymoved to Columbus, Ohio in 1916. He was oneof the first students to attend the brand newCentral High School.

As an apprentice in a barber shop, Mr.Raynes, then 15 years old, met theneighborhood druggist. Mr. John Eitel, theowner of East Side Eitel’s Pharmacy, invited himto come to work for him. It was 1929 andyoung Stephen was earning $3.50 a week as adelivery boy at Eitel’s Pharmacy. A pound ofhamburger was five cents, a loaf of bread 10cents, a pound of coffee 47 cents and gasolinewas 21 cents per gallon.

John Eitel had already encouraged several ofhis youngemployees toattendpharmacyschool and hemust haveseen the samespark in theyoungRaynes boy,because hesoonencouragedhim to applyto OhioState tostudypharmacy.

September 1929 found Stephen on his way tocollege. Just one month later, his world (and allaround him) would change. One might thinkthat a world event, such as the Stock MarketCrash of 1929, would derail Stephen from hiscollege plans. But he persevered and gives thecredit to his very thrifty mother, (a young widowwith 6 children to support and raise), to whomhe gave ALL of his paycheck, with saving andmanaging his tuition and book money.

Mr. Raynes recalls Clair Dye, Dean of theCollege of Pharmacy, having a reputation forbeing able to identify 35-40 different crudedrugs, such as ergot from the rye plant, by smell,sight or touch alone. He also remembersClarence Brown, secretary, Dr. Williams, mathinstructor and, of course, Lloyd Parks, whom heknew well and respected immensely.

After graduating from OSU in 1933 with hisdegree in Pharmacy, Mr. Raynes stayed on atEitel’s Pharmacy, but now as a licensedpharmacist. He describes himself at this time in

6

his life as“green as grassand dumb as awhale”. Butwithexperiencecame wisdomand soon Mr.Raynes was theneighborhoodpharmacistwhomeveryoneknew. He was

the person mothers talked to about childhoodillnesses, the man whom friends consultedwhen their families were ill and the healthexpert that many visited when they could notget in to see a doctor.

During this period of time Stephen met, andmarried, a young lady, with beautiful red hair,at a neighborhood party. A customer, the uncleof this young woman, had invited Stephen tothe party. Her name was Pauline, but everyoneknew her as Polly. Stephen and Polly weremarried for 65 years before she passed away in2002. They were parents to a family of four,two boys and two girls. Stephen and Polly andtheir family were active members ofWestminster Presbyterian Church for 55 years.During that time Stephen served as a Deaconand an Elder.

Raynes continued to work for Eitel’sPharmacy until 1937 when he was hired byGallaher Drug Company and he and Pollymoved to Dayton, Ohio. He worked for the 50store chain in a management position forseveral years but wanted to get back into acommunity pharmacy setting. He was hiredinto a position at Fidelity Medical Supply andPrescription as a pharmacist where he was soonback to work doing what he loved.

Several years later the company split intoseveral divisions and Raynes went with theRetail Pharmacy group under the ownership ofLee Eiler. He has many good memories ofworking alongside wonderful people includingLee Eiler, owner of Fidelity Prescriptions,Lowell Apple, Bill Thompson (’50 BSPharmacy), Al Achbach (’53 BS Pharmacy),Felix Marshall and Margaret Ann Nau (Brown)(’45 BS Pharmacy). In addition to working as apharmacist, Raynes was put in charge ofpurchasing drugs from the manufacturers for all9 stores in the Fidelity chain in Dayton. Hespent 25 years with this organization andretired as a Vice President of the company.

A great source of pride for Stephen is thatthe youngest of his five brothers, ClaytonRaynes, also decided to follow pharmacy as hiscareer. Clayton entered OSU in 1945 under theGI Bill and graduated in 1949. He, too,practiced Pharmacy in Columbus for a fewyears before moving to the Dayton area wherehe worked for an independent Pharmacy andeventually bought the store from the originalowner. After retiring from Fidelity, Stephenoften worked with his brother at theneighborhood pharmacy. Clayton is nowretired and living with his wife, Marie, inFlorida.

Stephen looks back at his career in Pharmacyand recalls the good times, those interactionswith people. He also recalls some of the not-so-good times, such as three robberies. He prefersto dwell on the good memories, including Mr.Eitel in Columbus, his colleagues at GallaherDrug Company, Mr. Eiler and his friends atFidelity Prescriptions. He has fond memories ofthe many customers he worked with over theyears.

Mr. Raynes is grateful for his education atOSU where he believes he learned to acceptresponsibility and became an adult. He treasureshis years as a pharmacist, husband and parent.He currently lives in Troy, Ohio across the streetfrom his daughter. He also finds time tovolunteer two days a week at Upper ValleyMedical Center, the local hospital where he hasmet many new friends.

Creative Gift Strategies

Giving for Fixed Income: TheCharitable Gift Annuity

A charitable gift annuity (CGA) is a way tosupport Pharmacy scholarships, faculty,innovative research and programs and toreceive fixed income back.

What is a charitable gift annuity?A charitable gift annuity (CGA) is a simpleagreement in which Ohio State agrees to payone or two persons fixed lifetime payments,in exchange for the donor's gift of cash orappreciated stock with a value of at least$10,000.

Are the annuity payments guaranteed forlife? How? Payments are fixed and guaranteed for lifewhen the property is irrevocably transferredto The Ohio State University Foundation andthe gift annuity contract is established. Giftannuity payment obligations are the generalliability of The Ohio State UniversityFoundation.

When do payments begin?Quarterly payments may begin immediatelyor at least one year into the future. The lattercase is called a deferred payment charitablegift annuity.

How is the gift annuity payout ratedetermined?The OSU Foundation considers the ratesrecommended by the American Council onGift Annuities (“ACGA”). The payout rate isbased upon the annuitant’s actuarial age; anassumed investment return; and a residuumfor OSU of 50% of the original gift. Theolder you are at the time of the gift, thegreater the fixed payment OSU agrees to payyou. Because two people have a longer lifeexpectancy than one person, the payout rateis lower for two-life gift annuities.

Does my gift qualify for an income taxdeduction?Charitable gift annuity donors may qualifyfor an income tax charitable deduction equalto the amount the gift exceeds the fair marketvalue of the annuity, subject to IRS rules.

How do I fund a gift annuity?Cash and appreciated stock are the mostcommon funding assets.

How are gift annuity payments taxed?Taxation of gift annuity payments dependsupon the assets used to fund the gift annuity.

Typically, a portion of the annual paymentfrom the annuity will be taxed as ordinaryincome and a portion will be a tax-free return

Meet our Founder – PharmacyAlumni Society

We take our Pharmacy Alumni Society forgranted. The organization is vibrant, runningsmoothly, and always there to keep usconnected, informed, and involved with ourprofession. But not many know the origins ofthe association. George M. McCann, one ofthree founding members of the Society, relatesthe story of how he, Professor Jack Beal, andJosephine Failer, met in 1981 and decided itwas the right time to organize a professionalgroup to further the interests of pharmacistsand pharmacy education. The threepharmacists/friends discussed how an effectivealumni organization could providecohesiveness and communication to pharmacygraduates, wrote a constitution for the group

and launched the College of Pharmacy AlumniSociety. George, founding Vice President andsecond President, is an integral member of theSociety having continued his membership overthe years. Today, the Society is an active, vital,and important organization for concernedpharmacists wanting to stay connected andinvolved in their profession and with theircolleagues. George believes the Society issuccessful because pharmacists are a cohesivegroup, who understand the value ofprofessional connections and are loyal to theirroots (their alma mater).

George’s leadership qualities go far beyondhis activities in the Pharmacy Alumni Society.George was an involved student, active instudent government (University StudentSenate), Polo Team, Pershing Rifles andAdvanced ROTC. A call to active duty in 1943took George away from the university for aperiod of three years, during which time heserved as an artillery officer in the 84thInfantry Division in Europe where he wonthree battle stars. Because there was concernthat the German people might riot against amilitary occupation, George commanded a
