DR. Haverbush's Lighter Side
 
  While Dr. Haverbush devotes most of his waking hours to the practice of Orthopaedic Surgery, there are two places where he tries to spend all of his spare time.
 
  Cedar Point on Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio is Doctor's favorite place in all the world to "relax." He grew up in Toledo, Ohio and has been going to "The World's Greatest Amusement Park" since he was a child.
 
 

Roller Coasters are not something most people are attracted to. But for those who like them, Cedar Point is a magnet, as it truly is America's Roller Coaster Capitol of the World.

  Top Thrill Dragster, Cedar Point's premiere coaster, reaches 120 miles per hour in four seconds, climbs a 420 foot (40 story) tower and then drops off the other side in a twisting 90 degree free-fall. Apparently the only explanation can be that we think of relaxing in a different way.
 
  The monthly trips to Cedar Point on Lake Erie and to stay at the historic Breaker's Hotel are relaxing in a way most of us would not enjoy. For Dr. Haverbush, however, Cedar Point is Heaven on Earth.
 
  The other place that Dr. Haverbush dearly loves is the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. As an alumnus of the medical school he has maintained a strong bond with the university and its many educational and sports activities. College hockey and football games are at the top of a short list of prime places to be in the fall and winter. Unlike the "relaxing" trips to Cedar Point, the college games are filled with tension. For some intensely loyal fans this is not entertainment, but rather an experience that ABC Sports has so aptly referred to as the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.

Michigan Stadium

 
  Dr. and his wife, Alice attend every game they possibly can, home and away. The victories are euphoric and the losses are crushing. The intense devotion goes far beyond attending games as there are an endless number of informative sources to gain information about games, players, recruiting and historical data. It is like a consuming hobby.
 
  Dr. and Alice try to avail themselves of as many of the educational and social aspects as they can. It has been a lifelong desire of this couple to give back to the University by generous donations to the different areas they choose to support.
 
  Dr. Haverbush's career in medicine has been long and successful, but it all began in Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan.
