The only mistake we all made was being born ten years too soon. My son has asked about the "wild times" in high school--Yea! No sexual revolution, no drugs, no drinking, no war protesting--STRIKE 3! Sorry, son, that was for the next generation. I did find time to meet my future wife, Joyce "Toodles" Glassman, and we're still married after 44 years! Back I went to St. Louis for internship at Jewish Hospital and residency at Barnes in Ophthalmology. |
Our son, Michael, was born in 1967. He has graduated from Ladue HS, Northwestern U., and Washington U. law school. He now is married (one princess due to make her entrance this summer) and working with my wife in her family business. Toodles is still working, because somebody has to pay for my retired lifestyle. Retired! I'm getting ahead of myself. After residency, Uncle Sam said I was a fine young man and "invited" me to join the Army. As the godfather said, "It was an offer I best not refuse." Our family spent one year at Fort Knox in Kentucky and one year at Fort Sill in Oklahoma. |
