About
Associate Professor of Human Genetics Pete Magee was excited when his department
head at the Yale School of Medicine called him in. Was he about to be recognized for
his three-year stint as an undergraduate college Dean, helping usher in coeducation
and calm the New Haven demonstrations against the trial of a Black Panther? Was he
going to get more lab space since he and his wife, Bebe, had submitted yet another
research grant? Was he up for an early promotion at the prestigious university? Growing
up in an alcohol-ridden family, he'd learned to overcome obstacles, often by ignoring
advice-in life as well as in work. Now, pleased with his success, he was eager to hear
what the next year would bring. But all his speculation turned out to be wrong.
