My Dad's Personal Statement
I found this while searching on the internet for some info. It is my dad's biography which I will place below. Just thought it is interesting. It came from a summary of 1951 graduates from Hendrix College on there 50th anniversary. Enjoy!
After graduation from Hendrix, I attended the
University of Arkansas School of Medicine, graduating
with a M.D. degree in June 1955. I interned at Charity
Hospital of Louisiana in New Orleans. After a two
year tour of duty as a flight surgeon in the U. S. Air
Force, I returned to Charity Hospital for a LSU
Orthopedic Surgery residency, finishing in 1963. I
joined the Staff at Oschner Clinic and Oschner
Foundation Hospital. I was also on the visiting clinical
staff of LSU Orthopedic Surgery at Charity Hospital.
The year 1969 was a pivotal one for me. I married
Elizabeth Jane Cole of Philadelphia, Miss., in August.
After receiving my second invitation to join the
Oschner Clinic partnership, I decided to return to
Little Rock to start a solo practice of Orthopedic
surgery in November.
I increased my practice to four orthopedic
surgeons over the years before separating to be solo
again in 1977. I completed 10 years of Cripple
Children’s Clinic service in Camden.
I have two sons, both Hendrix graduates. Ashley,
born in 1973, is a doctor in a Pediatric Residency at
Bowman Gray (Wake Forrest) in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Daniel, born 1977, has moved to Los Angeles to try to
make a living as an actor.
In 1991, I was called to active duty in the US Army
Medical Corps during Desert Storm and spent 6
months in Ft. Campbell, Ky. I remained in the reserve
and in 1995 retired after 20 years (mostly in reserves)
as a full colonel.
I retired from the private practice of orthopedic
surgery February 1999 and am now working 5/8 time
a the John L. McClellan Veterans Hospital in Little
Rock. I see out-patient orthopedic consults only and do
not operate, admit, or take call. My golf game has
improved, and my wife and I travel more. I am
interested in the stock market and computers.

My Thoughts on the World and Bush
Nothing earth moving here....Just listening to some good music. I am also sitting here contemplating the future of our country. Well, maybe that is something important. Before the last presidential election I was terrified that something really bad would happen if "Bush" was elected. Well, I was right. The world was against us before the election and now they hate us. The world view that Bush proposes is solitary, insular, egotistical and could lead to dire consequences. Those that oppose our countries involvement in the world hate us because they THINK that our world view is solitary, insular and egotistical. Clinton had it right....The more inclusive we are (actually, not just world politics, but at home as well), the better off we are when we need to confront the divisive elements operating in the world.
"We must make a world with more friends and fewer enemies – with more partners and fewer terrorists" - William J. Clinton, Yale University 2003
Who knows, maybe I will be wrong, but it will only be with the benefit of retrospective analysis. That is the essence of my disagreement with Bush and way he has run our country. I hope not to include too much politics in my posts because guess what....It can be divisive! ha ha :) ha ha
