Dr. Jeffer had the opportunity to do clinical work, serve on five
university faculties, command hospitals and health clinics and
serve on the staffs of three combat divisions. Extremely instructive
tours were spent as Chief Office of Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Control for Europe and the Middle East and the Forensic Psychiatry
Consultant for Europe. Also, he was Chief of Quality Assurance for Army Medicine,
Psychiatric Consultant for Operation Desert Storm, and Chief Medical Officer for the
Army National Guard with responsibility for all 54 jurisdictions. His last eight years
were spent in Pentagon assignments. He received a star from the Arkansas National
Guard and was to serve as a Special Assistant Adjutant General but fate intervened.
Along the way, he held on to his love of writing. He had two plays produced, sold
numerous stories, published a novel and more than sixty articles in medical journals.
He and his wife have visited the seven continents and over one hundred and fifty
countries and reside in Falls Church, Virginia.view less
