Robert “Bob” Moses McCully

in Silver Spring, MD.

Robert was born on August 19th, 1927 in Louisville, Ms. to Benjamin Marion McCully and Alma Porter. His older sister was Dyalthia. He enlisted in the US Merchant Marine in 1945 immediately after graduating from Louisville High School. With World War II over, he enrolled in pre-vet studies at Mississippi State College in Starkville and then at Iowa State University in Ames, where he completed a degree in Veterinary Medicine in 1953. He did a 2-year Internship at the Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston, MA and joined the US Air Force in 1955. His initial assignment was at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) on the campus of Walter Reed Hospital in Washington DC, where he completed a 3-year Residency in Veterinary Pathology. Ultimately, this was to be his one and only duty station during his 20+ year US Air Force career. He married Elaine Norwick of Fall River, MA in 1956.

In 1963, he and Elaine and their 4 children travelled to South Africa, where he was stationed for the next 6 years. He worked in the Department of Pathology at the Onderstepoort Veterinary Institute in Pretoria. While studying foreign animal diseases for the US government, Bob accompanied local guides, game rangers, and scientists on their expeditions to Kruger National Park and elsewhere in southern Africa, doing field autopsies on culled hippopotami, elephant, buffalo, wildebeest, and other hoofed animals, and cataloguing diseases that few non-Africans had ever seen. He published over 40 peer-reviewed articles dealing primarily with the pathology and parasitology of African wildlife and domestic livestock. In 1969, he returned to the AFIP to manage the exchange program with Onderstepoort until 1975, when he retired from the US Air Force with the rank of Colonel.
