Project -Trip Gilmore - Class of 2016
My grandfather, Dr. Ernest P.
Buxton III, was a significant part of the Hampton Roads community for the
majority of his medical career. He started the first gastrointestinal
laboratory in Newport News in 1974. This led to the opening of Peninsula
Gastroenterology in 1976 with Dr. John R. Stephens. Dr. Buxton practiced
medicine until his retirement in 2007.
One of his favorite activities after his retirement was playing golf
with his friends, wife and grandson (me: Trip Gilmore). He was and still is a
major part of my life. He introduced me to golf. We played countless rounds
together at James River Country Club.
In September of 2011, he fractured his neck and had a long recovery. The
day before his accident, I was fortunate to play a round of golf with him and
G.G. Even more fortunate was that it was not our last round together. He told
me that his accident improved his game, because it kept his head down.
He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in December of 2014 and passed
away in March 2015. My idea is to honor my
grandfather’s memory by organizing a golf tournament in his name for my Senior
Project at Hampton Roads Academy. Please
join us in a special
