This is great - I love those little mysteries you find tucked away between the pages of a book. You're so lucky you were able to track it down. I've got old photos and slips of paper I doubt I'll ever be able to trace. Still, the mystery is part of the fun. Did you ever find out who this Dr. Kreik was? I've been looking around (curiosity will be the death of me) and found something you'll like. It's a picture of the man himself, Dr. William F. Krick of 340 N Fifth St, Reading:

Thank you! That is awesome. You are right, it is 'Krick'. Well done. I only had my phone photo when I posted, and I couldn't make out the name. So strange that they mention that Dr. Floyd Keene, who spoke in the afternoon, was unable to make the banquet in the evening. Perhaps Dr. Keene was on call.
Oh wow. He has deep roots in Berks. http://genforum.genealogy.com/krick/messages/179.html ...In 1873 he was married to Rebecca Fritz, daughter of Henry G. Fritz, and they have one son, William F., who is now a medical student at the University of Pennsylvania. His parents are giving him every possible educational advantage and he has the ambition to profit by the same. Mr. Krick and his family belong to the Reformed Church at Sinking Spring. In politics he is a Democrat. How excellent.
