35th Reunion (1998): After USAFA, I began my soaring classic Air Force Career as a flight sugeon with assignments in Vietnam, Lackland, Kirkland, and Edwards AFBs; all of which allowed me to renew old and make many new blue-suit friendships — a welcome after spending a number of years in civilian medical school at the height of the anti-war movement. At Edwards, I also slipped the surly bonds of bachelorhhood after meeting my soulmate, Caron, but first, I had to convince her that all my test pilot friends had the wrong stuff. After my flight surgeon days, I became interested in cancer and went from treating the very well to-the very sick. I spent a few years in cancer research and traveled from Los Alamos to Boston and finally ended up in San Antonio where we have spent the last 15 years raising our three daughters—Danell, Stormie, and Hillery. Danell and Stormie required only occasional police actions, but with Hillery, it was total thermonuclear war. They are all off to college now and our house is much larger, so bed- and-breakfast are readily available for anyone heading down San Antonio way.
