Well, I never made any significant contribution to the world of science or medicine so my biography will be the longest. I went to medical school at LSU in New Orleans. At the end of my second year I found out that I didn't particularly like sick people and decided on pathology (related well to corpses). I was introduced to an apartment full of Tri-deltas who all had decided to begin their careers in New Orleans and was lucky enough to marry one of them. In fact all eight girls had their careers abruptly halted by marriage or engagement within eight months. Internship and Residency at Vanderbilt and then two years serving my country (war zone was St.Louis) where Cooper took care of us. I joined a new pathology group, made up of junior faculty from Vanderbilt, in Huntsville where I practiced for 25 years. I was pathologist number three. By the time I retired (age 57) we had 16 pathologists and well over a 1000 hospital beds and a branch of Alabama Medical School. Prissy and I had two daughters. The younger went to Vanderbilt for undergraduate and graduate school and is now married to a lawyer and lives in Atlanta - produced 3 grandchildren. The older went to William & Mary and Harvard Law and married a New York bond trader with Solomon Brothers. He managed to stay out of jail and they live in semi-retirement in Toronto - produced two grandchildren. We retired in Williamsburg because we liked the area and wanted to boat the Chesapeake. We have been active boater for about 35 years now and still fight the waves. Life has been good. I am still socially immature and avoid responsibility whenever possible. Married now for 47 years and one of the most content guys on earth. |
