"Each and every assignment I had brings great memories of the patients I cared for and the poeple I worked with. I had many patients who were air-evacuated from Vietnam-amputees, burn victims and other orthopedic injuries, as well as children of military families who had congenital conditions, cancer and burns. Also, memorable is flying across the Atlantic on a C-5 and landing at Torrejon AB, near Madrid, living in tents and preparing an aero-medical staging facility for overflow casualties from Desert Storm; it was exciting and suspenseful. Fortunately, the war ended quickly, and we never had any patients."

"My most memorable moment was in 1963 during Pres. Kennedy's blockade of Cuba. There was fear the communists would do something somewhere else to take the pressure off Cuba.
