Frederick Turner Reuter, MD died February 28 at the age of 95. Dr. Reuter was born on March 25, 1920 in Washington, D.C. to Frederick August Reuter, MD and Martha Rousseau Turner.

Known to his family and friends affectionately as Tony, he graduated in 1939 from Landon School for Boys in Bethesda, Maryland and completed his pre med degree from the University of Virginia.

As a Captain in the U.S. Army, he was stationed at Fort Meade near Washington, D.C. during World War II and he received his graduate degree in medicine from The George Washington University in 1944. He continued his army service at Walter Reed Army Military Hospital under Colonel James Claude Kimbrough, until 1948 when he began his residency in urology at the University of Pennsylvania. After completing the program at the Elmer Hess Clinic in Erie, Pennsylvania he returned to Washington, D.C. to join his father Dr. Frederick Reuter, in his urology practice, in 1951. They practiced at George Washington University Hospital, Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. and Loudoun Memorial Hospital in Leesburg, Virginia where they had established a clinic in the 1940's which was to become its urology department.

Among many life long interests for Tony was his passion for photography, which enabled his association with the The National Geographic. A safari with his family to East Africa in 1967 resulted in the inclusion of many of his photographs in the Geographic's book, The Animals of East Africa. His photograph of a cheetah hung for years in Explorers' Hall. His macro photography of spiders, snakes and birds became his trademark.

Tony and his family divided their time between Washington, D.C and Aldie, Virginia where they moved permanently to Glenstone, the farm his family settled in the 1700's.

A fifth generation of Loudoun County, Tony spent his weekends and summers as a young boy there with his first cousin Frederick (Fritz) Lyttleton Hutchison. He was a dedicated outdoorsman with interests in equestrian sports, which was nurtured early on by his parents who bred thoroughbreds and showed pointers on the bench. Huckleberry Finn and Becky Thatcher were two of his favorite ponies; with them he won many championships throughout Loudoun, Fauquier and Fairfax Counties, often showing with his life long friends Robbie Palmer and Elliwood Keith. Rufus Humphrey and Joe Rogers were among those close friends of a bygone era.

Tony oversaw the master planning of Glenstone's horticulture which his parents began in the 1920's when the bones of the formal gardens were grafted from cuttings from the "mother box". He and his wife Nancy began their own perennial gardens within these bones in the early 1980's. The topiaries of Foster hollies, cuttings of which were grown in his greenhouse, frame the entrance to the garden and are a testament to his acumen as a skilled horticulturalist. One of Tony's many lasting legacies will be his rhododendron and azalea gardens on the eastern slope of the Bull Run Mountain.

In the 1940's he and his father established a pure bred herd of angus cattle at Bull Run Farm, adjacent to Glenstone, which was maintained for fifty years. The annual joint auction with John Rucker of Hill Crest Farm, Delaplane, Virginia became an institution which provided an opportunity for farms to add foundation cattle to their herds.

He was a member of the American Medical Association, The American College of Surgeons, The American Urological Association, The Cosmos Club, The Third Monday Group, and The Catoctin Farmers' Club.

Tony is survived by his wife of 67 years, Nancy Rogerson Brown Reuter, and his three children; Frederick Turner Reuter, Jr., Diana Reuter Twining, and John (Jock) Adams Reuter, his three grandchildren, Matilda Reuter Engle, Hannah Pascoe Reuter, and Frederick (Fritz) Turner Reuter III, and by his daughter in law Dana Casey Reuter, son in law Edmund S. Twining III and grand son in law Jonathan Aaron Engle.

A memorial service will be held in the spring in his beloved gardens at Glenstone. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the National Audubon Society.
