Bob Tuttle's first visit to the Isles of Shoals, was in 1941.
He was a lowly UNH microbiology student who was helping to open the zoological laboratory for the summer. It became his favorite place on earth.
According to his obituary, Tuttle received a B.S. in biology in 1943 from the University of New Hampshire (UNH) and graduated from the University of Rochester School of Medicine with an M.D. in 1947. In 1950 he became an instructor of microbiology and immunology at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, N.C. He advanced to assistant professor, department chairman in 1954, associate professor, assistant dean and then academic dean in 1969.
He served as a Naval Reserve lieutenant in the Medical Corps at the Naval Medical Research Institute at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda MD, from 1952 to 1954.
He served as associate dean for academic affairs at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, from 1970 to 1975. He was dean there from 1975 to 1981. He was regional dean at Texas Tech University School of Medicine at El Paso from 1981 to 1984.
After retiring in 1984 he and his wife Dot moved to Lee, New Hampshire and he joined the UNH Marine Docent Program in 1986, choosing as his area of concentration the natural and human history of the Isles of Shoals.
He conducted tours, presented slide/talk programs and served as guest lecturer on the Isles of Shoals. He was the founding president of the Isles of Shoals Historical and Research Association from 1992 to 1994. One of the programs he represented as part of the adult education program was “A Garden Is a Sea of Flowers,” which taught about the life of Celia Thaxter through the history of her island garden on Appledore.
He was a member, consultant and chairman of several medical groups and committees. He died at his home in Lee, New Hampshire at the age of 82. He was a 12th generation Tuttle, in direct line from Simon Toothill of Ringstead England and New Haven Connecticut.
