In 1968 he graduated summa cum laude with a BS in pre-medicine from Clemson University, a place that he claims was the beginning of the rest of his life. After a year at Clemson doing research in environmental systems engineering, he attended Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia and received his MD degree in 1973. Although he was in the naval reserve he was allowed to do his first year of a pediatric residency at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, Alabama before going on active duty in the navy where he served as a general medical officer, a United States naval flight surgeon, and a pediatric and adolescent medicine specialist. In 1981 he was honorably discharged from the navy and moved to Carrollton, Georgia where he started what was to eventually become a highly respected five physician and one nurse practitioner practice. Taking care of infants, children, and young adults is what he did. However, that is not who he totally is. In short, he is a Christian, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather; a proud naval veteran; a private pilot; a coast guard captain (25 tons); a private investigator; a hunter and a fisherman; a conservationist; an animal lover and more. He always had great expectations about his future, and he encourages others to have the same, and to deal with unhappy memories, leave them behind, to focus on tomorrow, and to make some lasting memories. He says this book is an effort to share good memories, to teach a thing or two, and to bring a little humor into the short time that we all have between the two eternities.view less
