Rolf Holle ’73

September 15, 2026

Attending HMC was the greatest event of my life. It taught me how to think. After that. Medical School, Internship, Residency , Fellowship , academics with 4 separate speciality board certifications was an honor, but easier. After that, 40 years of private practice, 40,000 patients seen, 2000 lives saved in the ICU have been an incredible ride.
My advice to you is to maintain balance in your lives, but to wisely save and invest the fruits of your labors in your childrens and grandchildren’s futures. I have been a self thought but fortunate investor, and your best tool is time – compound investing. So make the most of your opportunities, but always look to your long term goals. You are all very intelligent – but financial competence is not taught in college.

We love hearing about your professional and personal milestones, and the notes are a great way to keep up with friends and classmates and foster connection.

Submit the class notes form to share your life updates. All items submitted appear online in their entirety, however, may be subject to editing. Submitted notes will also be reviewed for publication in Mudd Magazine (fall/winter–January or spring/summer–August) and in academic department e-newsletters, and are subject to editing, including for grammar and space availability. If submitting a photo, high-resolution (file size at least 1 MB) is best so that it reproduces well in the print magazine.

Notes are listed by date received. Customize this page by searching by class year and/or major. If you have questions or comments, please email alumni@hmc.edu.
