PREFACE
When I turned 80 some time ago, I noticed that my memory was gradually losing its former events much more rapidly than in the past. Many past events were gradually disappearing from my mind, which losses l did not experience with any great joy. And such losses did not easily come back, which I missed miserably. I looked to remember my past, and I was beginning to lose it. So what could I do? Many people had started diaries sometime in their youth, others in their Middle Ages... But when they die,their diaries get soon lost since their descendants may not be particularly interested in their ancestors’ histories. Others, however, may write novels or stories about tales in their diaries, yet others may even publish them. But these latter types are very uncommon. So I decided to join these uncommon types and write a story about my wife and me before I die or forget all about our lives. Having a written or even printed record of one’s love affair and marriage will not be lost easily and most likely will remain in one’s brain until the end of one’s life.
I was now and then recalling a life of a colleague of mine of fond memory, whose biography could have been a good story, but because of a love affair, it turned out less successful than it could have been. I will briefly relate this story because a very few times did I have similar feelings in my lifetime, though I did not follow them, and they soon disappeared thereafter, thanks be to God. Here goes: Dr. X was an Australian who had received his doctorate in biochemistry. After a post-doctorate job, he was hired by my Biochemistry Department chairman as Assistant Professor,presumably to help me handle our 120 medical student Biochemistry course, of which I was the course director. I don’t know why my boss hired him; he didn’t ask me anything about that matter, I had never complained about my work being too hard, nor could I be fired since my title was already Associate Professor and I had tenure, even if my boss wanted to.But to get some help, I did not mind, and my boss asked me to help the new Assistant Professor start his career, including doing research. So I invited him to our research group, and we published a nice group of research papers on transferrin and other topics of my interest.
He was a decent researcher, and eventually, he was able to get his own grants and run his own research projects. However, I retained my job as a course director for the medical biochemistry course, which our new Assistant Professor apparently wanted to be a member of. Eventually, I got notice that my colleague was appointed Assistant Dean of the medical school. That job lasted for a year; he got another promotion
at the Dean’s office and stopped teaching biochemistry. I was promoted to full professor with basically the same jobs, giving a couple of lectures a year only.
Eventually, my colleague got a national job, I believe, with an organization that makes national medical exams. Then I lost knowledge of his career, but eventually, I saw signs on the Illinois highways with Dr. X picture advertising his real estate sales office. He became a
