Phi Delta Theta FraternityWhat’s been happening: After graduating from medical school at Iowa I interned and did a residency in orthopedic surgery at the University of Southern California. Residency was followed by two years in the service as chief of orthopedic surgery at Vandenberg AF base during the Vietnam war. Following discharge I joined one of my professors in practice in North Hollywood, CA. I also spent the next 30+ years on the voluntary faculty of USC in the Dept. of orthopedic surgery as an Asst. Professor. I served as Chief of Staff of Providence St. Josephs Medical Center in Burbank, CA and President of the Los Angeles chapter of Western Orthopedic Assoc. My family consists of three girls and one boy. Two are in medicine-one an administrative nurse in Seattle the other a foot and ankle surgeon in Las Vegas. The oldest daughter is in commercial real estate in Newport Beach and the other daughter in advertising. We have eight grandchildren the oldest being twin girls who started college this year at Colorado, Boulder and the University of Virginia. Currently I am retired and living on a golf course in south Orange County CA (San Juan Capistrano). Hobbies include golf, woodworking (recently made a Malouf rocker with a lot of good help), antiques, cooking, fine wine, art, and working out. Enjoy spending time at my unique second home on the ocean in Northern CA (Mendocino). The house is made of redwood timbers from the trestle of an old logging railroad. There are full sized Dolphins carved on each end of the huge center beam which projects outside the house. View is 270 with good ab diving. |
