Creatures Great & Small: Life of a Small Town Vet

We are so pleased to welcome newly retired veterinarian Dr. Tom Stuwe to Barre Rotary this week.  Dr. Stuwe, who was encouraged to treat large animals by none other than British author and vet surgeon James Herriot, has just retired from his practice.  Come hear the tales from our own small town vet !  

Dr. Stuwe earned his undergraduate degree at Northwestern Michigan College in 1969, and his degree in Veterinary Medicine from Michigan State College in 1975.  After working three years with Dr. Sam Hutchins in his large animal practice, Dr. Stuwe operated a solo practice of his own for 43 years treating large animals in Central Vermont.  Dr. Stuwe has been married to his wife Ruth for 52 years and they have three daughters, who also live with their spouses and kids in Central Vermont.
