Cavanaugh's,
a new coffee shoppe in the
Health
Sciences
Learning
Center was dedicated on Friday, October 19, named to honor the memory of Mrs.
Elsie Cavanaugh who owned and operated a cafeteria on the ground floor of
the
Basic
Sciences
Building
from 1957 through 1972.
A
special feature of the ceremony was the unveiling of “I Owe
Mrs. Cavanaugh,” by artist, Dr. Larry Krames, 1966 graduate of
the WVU School of Medicine. His
painting depicts the sentiments of hundreds of former students as they
recall an era when times were hard, cash was low, and a special lady cared
for and trusted them.
Dr.
Bill Neal, 1966 graduate of the School
of
Medicine
said, “Elsie Cavanaugh was like our mother away from home for a generation
of students. As time goes by,
the memory of the small but great faculty who began this
Health
Sciences
Center
begins to fade. Cavanaugh’s should, in its own way, help perpetuate the sense of
excellence, compassion and camaraderie so characteristic of that era.”
