Biographical NoteReturn to Top

Charles F. Norris was the University of Oregon Medical School's first full-time photographer. An early pioneer in medical photography, 'Charlie' was well known by a host of faculty members and students at UOMS since he first stepped on the campus in September of 1931. In 1940, Charlie married the former Thelma Lehman, secretary to Elnora Thompson. At the age of 51, Charlie retired from UOMS to focus on a limited retail nursery business the Norrises had had for a number of years in Portland. They specialized in rhododendrons, azaleas, and native plants.
