Born in Gray in 1905, Dr. Reed graduated from Oxford (Maine) High School and received a track and cross country scholarship for a year at Hebron Academy.  He graduated with the class of 1927 from the University of Maine at Orono, completing his senior year concurrently with his first year of medical school at Yale University.  Dr. Reed received training in radiology, and eventually practiced in the Farmington area from 1936-1940.  During that time, he was coach of the Farmington State Normal School's cross country teams which achieved a five-year record of 37-6, one of the best records for any team in the school's history.
