Dr. Lane joins staff at animal hospital Patricia L Lane, DVM, has joined the staff of the Biue Ridge Animai Hospital on West State Street in Black Mountain. A native of Georgia, she graduated from the University of Georgia at Athens. While an undergraduate, she was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and other honorary fraternities. She is a graduate of the Veterinary School of Medicine at the University. Dr. Lane has been practicing for three years in Brunswick, Ga. and in nearby St. Simons Island. She was associated with two clinics there. But she and her husband, who is an ecologist she met while he was working on his Phd. in Athens, decided that they had gotten "tired of the bugs and lowlands" and decided tc *re-locate in the mountains. Correction There were two errors in the cutline that appeared under the picture of the building at the shore of Lake Susan in the July 14 edition of the Black Mountain News: The building is owned by the Montreat Conference Center, not Montreat-Anderson College as stated. However, it is used as a collegiate center. Also, although the building appears to be three-storied in the photo, it is only two-storied. _ Dr. Lane "has always had animats" and jokingly said that she knew the oniy way she could afford a lifetime of vet bills to care for her menagerie, she decided, was to become a veterinarian herself! Her father always liked animals and brought exotic animals home to the farm where she grew up. In addition to horses, cows and other domesticated animals, there was frequently an exotic animal such as an ocelot about. Right now she and her husband own seven horses, Hve Nubian goats, and assorted dogs. They are looking for a small farm of 10-20 acres that is near enough to Black Mountain to enable her to reach the clinic quickly in case of emergency. Dr. Wagener specializes in small animals and Dr. Lane would like to make her specialty large animals.
