Well, how do i summarize nearly 50 years in a short description that anyone might be interested in reading?

I worked with the Hematology/Medical Oncology group (blood diseases and cancer medicine) at South Side and North Side Medical Centers during that time. I also practiced at the Warren hospitals during this time period. One danger of vacationing in Colorado is the likelihood that you’ll fall in love with the mountains, climate and lifestyle.

So with our daughters starting 11th grade and 7th grade, we moved to Longmont, Colorado (10 miles outside of Boulder, Colorado ) in the summer of 2002. ...Expand for more
