HILDA WEYL SOKOL, 1928-2022

A 1981 symposium co-sponsored by Hilda Sokol of Dartmouth Medical School called to our attention, hereabouts, a sometimes neglected local hero, the Brattleboro Rat. The Rat has been a very useful creature in various medical research fields, ranging from diabetes to learning differences to depression. When I bring up this topic, people typically think I am joking; but actually it is very serious. We should raise a giant Brattleboro Rat statue in Pliny Park.
