acrosse starter and captain his senior yr; he graduated from the University of Texas Medical School in Houston, completed internal medicine training at Johns Hopkins Hospital and is currently (2022=25) a Cardiology fellow at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. All are happy, healthy, and making their way in life.
My major professional interests are tumors of hormone producing (endocrine) tissues (including the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, adrenal glands, and other endocrine tissues) and metabolic bone disorders such as osteporosis.

I retired in 2021, just after my 75th birthday. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Look forward to future class reunions and hope it will be possible to attend. rfgagel(use the symbol for at)gmail.com
