BOB BACKUS RECEIVES TOWNSHEND BUSINESS ASSOCIATION AWARD

Townshend Business Association President Stephen McConnel presents the Distinguished Citizen Award to Dr. Robert Backus.

An excerpt of Stephen McConnel’s remarks as the award was presented on December 13, 2005:

“Bob is an excellent diagnostician who cares about his patients more than most of their relatives do, and exudes an unbounded energy which encompasses all his activities. From paying his own way to volunteer in the Ama-zon jungle, to attending funerals, he is always a giver. His positive attitude and unbridled sense of humor just make you feel better after even a short talk with him.”
