Sandra Knouse, of Kingston, knew Post for 40 years. She re- calls many stories he told her about his work. Having spent countless hours delivering ani- (2 oo on farms in the rural Back ountain area, Post encoun- tered some unusual situations. On one occasion, he delivered a calf on ice after the cow in labor slipped and fell on it. Another time, he cared for an elephant that had been injured in a car accident while being transport- ed through the area. He also de- livered a two-headed cow, which was later slaughtered. One night, Post was on a vet- erinary call when he saw a dog hit by a car. The driver initially took off, but Post believes he re- Brooks named Dental Assistant of the Year Patricia Brooks, Dental Assist- ant at the Monroe-Noxen Dental Center, has been named the 2008 Innovative Dental Assistant of the Year by Dental Economics e. magazin é 4 Sponsored by 3M ESPE Dental " Products and supported by the American Den- tal Assistant Association (ADAA) and the Dental As- sisting Nation- al Board (DANB), the award is pre sented annual- ly based on the nominee’s profes- sionalism and commendable traits, in and out of the dental of- fice.

Post treated the dog and it survived. “He was very compassionate, no matter who wanted him, no matter what time it was,” Knouse said. In addition to his love of ani- mals, Post also had a desire to give back to the community and was involved in many area char- ities. He was a member of the Clown Unit, an active unit of the Irem Temple. He served as 54th Illustrious Potentate of Irem Temple in 1988 and was a mem- ber of the motor corps. He treated a sick leopard at the Shriners Circus one year and helped deliver a tiger cub there, following the birth with veterin- ary services. The next year, a man from the circus allowed Post to see the 1-year-old tiger. Post was a former board mem- ber of the Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals of Lu- zerne County and a veterinarian for the Lehman Horse Show and the Back Mountain Kennel Club for many years. He also cared for the cattle at the former Hillside Farms and the animals at the State Correctional Institute in Dallas. Knouse says Post’s only pet while he was a veterinarian was a female Doberman Pinscher named Dee Dee who went ev- erywhere with her owner. The dog slept beside Post’s bed but would periodically get up and roam the kennels during the night. If something appeared to be wrong with one of the ani- mals, Dee Dee would paw Post to wake him. Post told Knouse the dog was always right. An outdoorsman, Post loved to fly his two planes, having fly- ing experience from when he was a pilot in the Navy. He also owned two boats, Pet Vet 1 and Pet Vet 2, and two motorcycles. He tried hunting once but the sport upset him too much. Although Knouse says Post could be shy, he once showed up for a celebration in the streets of Dallas dressed in a bear cos- tume. “I knew him well enough that he was not an intrusive type of person,” Knouse said. “He was funny; he could be the life of the party. But he was never the type to push himself in anywhere.” teacher.
