4 THE FOUNDING AND EARLY YEARS The photo above from 1956 is courtesy of the Museum of Osteopathic Medicine at A.T. Still University in Kirksville, Missouri, and may be one of the few photos featuring nearly all the founding leaders of ACOFP appearing together at one time. This photo was taken after the installation of John Vincent Fiore, DO, the originator of the idea to form an osteopathic general practice specialty college, who went on to become ACOFP’s fifth president, with Herman H. Schlossberg, DO, as the president-elect; Alfred J. Schramm, DO, retaining his permanent position as the secretary; and the new treasurer, W. Clemens “Tiny” Andreen, DO, rounding out the executive committee for that year. H. Wayne Wagonseller, DO, had just become the newest past president with the installation of Dr. Fiore. J. Myron Auld, DO, of Kansas City, would later be elected as the first chairman of the soon to be formed Conclave of Fellows, under President James Rowland, DO.
