1940s - Cockerell

Sanford F. Cockerell, M.D. ’45, of Independence, Mo., retired in 2000 from his pediatric practice after 50 years. His son, Charles, and daughter, Michele, took over the practice, which has eight other physicians, two nurse practitioners and offices in two cities. Cockerell says that his activities include racquetball, gardening and duck hunting. For the past 15 years he has served as president of the Independence Hunting Club, which maintains a waterfowl marsh 35 miles from his home.
