Tweet by @jackiantonovich with a picture of a gravestone for Dr Marion Stevenson and Dr Hope Nichoson under an angraved banner reading 'Medical classmates U of M 1920. The text on the tweet says: One of my favorite stories that never made it into the diss: Two women physicians who graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School, lived together, traveled together, and never married. They are buried next to each other as "medical classmates."

25 years without the person you love the most. That hurts my heart to think of, as I lay next to my wife right now.

    "never married"? Wasn't that impossible to do at the time?

    Who didn't do gay stuff in college, medical school, work, life, for decades and decades?
