Parents Dick Nolan and Pam Nolan with youngest son Ben Nolan, D.V.M, at Ben's graduation from Tufts Veterinary College in Boston 2005. Pam was standing in a low spot under the tree while Dick and Ben were standing on tree roots, making her appear to be shorter than she really is. Ben is interning at Alameda East in Colorado, a celebrated animal emergency hospital featured on the Animal Planet television show. Dick and Pam spend much of the year in Seattle, where Dick holds a chair at their alma mater, the University of Washington, while still maintaining an academic and research presence at Harvard, from whence he retired in 2004. Dick and Pam also have homes in Waltham, Mass., and on the coast of Maine.
