Inscription.
Dr. A.J. Ferlazzo. Alfred Ferlazzo "Doc" came to Prince William County in 1937 after graduating from Georgetown Medical. He lovingly cared for his patients day and night regardless of ability to pay for 50 years. "Doc" delivered over 3500 babies in Prince William and Stafford Counties, or at Alexandria or Mary Washington hospitals up and down Route One. He dedicated his life and time to serving Eastern Prince William County as a Supervisor for 18 years. He was responsible for editing the Potomac News. He supported the school board and fought for higher salaries for teachers. He was the principal founder of Potomac Hospital. The Pediatric Wing is dedicated to him as is the Old Gar-Field High School which is now a County Building. The plaque on the building says it all… "Humanitarian."
