When Dr. John A. Wessinger, Ann Arbor's apparently ageless health officer (he'll be 87 next month), was a young country doctor, he made his wintry rounds in a horse-drawn cutter (above), swathed in furs against the cold. Today he occupies an office on E. Huron St. near the city hall where he studies municipal health problems (below) and is "beginning to think about retiring" after serving the city 40 years.
