RALPH J. SPIEGL, MD, received the Dean’s Medal from School of Medicine Dean Philip A. Pizzo, MD, at a dinner in Spiegl’s honor March 4. Friends, colleagues and former patients turned out for the event hosted by Pizzo and held at the Faculty Club. Spiegl was awarded the medal in recognition of his many years of distinguished service as a fund-raising volunteer for the medical school. The medal, first presented to Pizzo in April 2001 upon his arrival at Stanford, may be given periodically by the dean to individuals who have rendered exemplary service or provided extraordinary support to the medical school. It is the school’s highest award for volunteers and donors. Spiegl, an alumnus of both Stanford University and the School of Medicine, received his undergraduate degree in 1945 and his medical degree in 1948. SMD
