50 years! That means it's been some 60 years since we walked miles to Jackson Park. (Yes---my son, we actually walked, --rain or snow--we did have shoes--probably hand me downs.) Carpools? you ask… not yet "invented." After a sheltered life at Jackson Park, Hanley, and U.C.H.S., they threw us out. They said we were prepared for anything the future might hold. |
Off to Washington University--you know, the campus of wild parties and big-time football. Oh, that was at the other schools--not on the pre-med curriculum. STRIKE 1! After 3 years I was told to "Go west young man," so off to Columbia, Missouri I went… Now that's big-time partying and major football--but not for this guy--medical school did not consider it a part of the program. STRIKE 2! I graduated in 1964. |
