The History of Medicine in Maryland Committee, and the city of Baltimore, have lost a great friend, Julian (Jack) Lapides. He died of cancer early on the morning of July 14, 2021.
Jack, whom I have personally known for the bulk of my life, was invited onto the History of Medicine in Maryland (HMM) Committee by his old friends, Dr. Thomas E. Hunt, Jr. and Dr. Allan Jensen They both had offices in Baltimore's historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood and were both deeply interested in the history of Baltimore.
Jack always brought a lot to our meetings, with great ideas for lectures, and obscure pieces of Baltimore history that none of us had previously known.
Jack was a renaissance man, and a true gentleman. He served in the military, including a year in Iceland, was an attorney, and also a member of the Maryland State Senate.
Our thoughts are with his wife, Linda, at this time. May his memory be a blessing.
