Stephen's Story
Life
After working 20 years in the asphalt industry in Toledo, I went to Owens College to get my Associates in Radiation Therapy. It's amazing the brain still worked at age 40. Upon graduation I moved to Port Charlotte, FL for six years. The last year I was there I transfered to the dosimetry (physics) department calculating treatment plans for radiation therapy patients. In October 1999, I moved to Baton Rouge, LA and worked for the Baton Rouge General Medical Center. You wouldn't believe how much fun Mardi Gras is! In 2002, I moved back to Florida and worked for an agency doing temporary assignments around the country for the next five years. What a way to see the country and get paid for it, too. My first assignment was 10 months in Salt Lake City at LDS Hospital and had a wonderful time there. Since then, I have worked in Lancaster, PA at Lancaster General Hospital, Mercy Cancer Center in Hot Springs, AR, McLeod Medical Center in Florence, SC, Christus Spohn in Corpus Christi, TX, Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, IL, Aultman Hospital in Canton, OH, Marquette General Hospital in Marquette, MI. From 2007 until July of 2010 I worked for a company in Las Vegas. Now I am on the road again working as a temp traveling around the country. While on the road this time, I worked in Alexandria, LA, Marquette, MI, Visalia, CA, Festus, MO, Baltimore, MD, Maywood, IL, Tallahassee, FL, Santa Rosa, CA (for a year), Walla Walla, WA, Mo...Expand for more
desto and Lodi, CA In 2014, while traveling, I was made an offer by the company I used to work for, 21st Century Oncolgy. I only had three more years until retirement and thought I could do it again as they now wanted me as their "in-house temp." When they hired me again, I was working at one of their centers in Modesto, CA. Since then I have been to Fort Lauderdale, FL, Goldsboro, NC, and have been in Redding, CA since May of 2015. At the rate they are getting applicants for this center, I will still be working here until I retire at the end of March, 2017. Now that there is light at the end of the tunnel, I will be traveling some more next year, but it will be for fun, not work. One of my bucket list goals to is to a picture of every state Capitol building and Governor's Mansion in the United States. At this point (10/2016), I am a little over half way there. I still have so much more to explore, plus I would like to get in a couple of foreign travels before I am done. April 7, 2017 was my last day working and I am now officially retired. I will still occasionally take a temporary assignment for 1-2 weeks at a time to help cover vacations at various centers around the country, but no more long jobs. It is now time for me to catch up with family, friends and finish seeing the rest of the country I have not seen. In 2019, I decided it was time to move back to Ohio to be closer to the family.; just in time for our 50th Class Reunion.
