In Rememberance: James H. "Red" Duke, Jr, M.D. (from UTHealth and MemorialHermann)

JAMES H. "RED" DUKE, JR, M.D.

1928 - 2015

"With his undergraduate degree in hand, he served for two years as an Army tank commander in Germany during the Korean War before enrolling in the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth.  He received a divinity degree in 1955.
During seminary, a book about Albert Schweitzer, M.D., inspired Duke to pursue a career in academic medicine. He thought that caring for patients and conducting scientific research while training the next generations of physicians would be the best ways he could serve his community."
