<\/a><\/p>\nI am grateful to my fraternity brother Paul Heinzerling and his wife Barb who were so kind to introduce me to his sister Sarah who became my wife.\u00a0 She in turn supported my heart and soul and gave me three daughters and they two grandchildren each who are truly the most important people in my life.\u00a0 My Kenyon classmates suggested the possibility of medicine as a vocation . . . and it became so.\u00a0 My Kenyon years gave me the confidence to be independent and be my own man, and the wisdom to go about it in the right manner.<\/p>\n
Medical School at THE Ohio State University . . . internship in St. Petersburg, Florida . . . military service in Vietnam and Dugway, Utah . . . residency at the University of Colorado . . . and the fortunate practice of radiology with wonderful colleagues in Greeley X-Ray Group in Colorado . . . was the personally fulfilling vocation for my adult life.\u00a0 However, the life lessons from my parents, relatives, and friends, and the worldly exposure from Kenyon, Vietnam, and the practice of medicine gave me the foundation to live my life<\/strong>.<\/p>\nNo Regrets<\/strong> . . . my mantra I think accurately reflects my feelings of my life.\u00a0 My service as Battalion Surgeon in Vietnam, Chairman of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging at North Colorado Medical Center, Moderator of First Congregational Church of Greeley, President of Greeley Rotary Club, Chairman of RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) Conference, Medical Officer of Honor Flight Northern Colorado, President of the Leadership Council of Northeastern Colorado Division of American Cancer Society, member of Aims Community College Foundation Board and Tobacco Free Weld County Coalition are highlights of a career of service exemplifying my enjoyment and recognition and belief in the worthiness of a life of citizenry and Service Above Self <\/strong>. . . the motto of Rotary.\u00a0 Those values arose from my father and mother and from my college, and role models such as Paul Newman.\u00a0 He got it . . . finally . . . and so did I.\u00a0 Life Is Too Serious To Be Taken Too Seriously<\/strong> . . . my other mantra . . .<\/p>\nPersonal treasured recognitions are the Bronze Star, Paul Harris Fellowships, W.D. Farr Honoree of 2010, Weld County Public Health Champion, speaker at over sixty programs on variety of topics through the years, and now grandfather to my grandkids.\u00a0 My upcoming performance in the role of Rotary Founder Paul Harris for the High Plains Chautauqua in Greeley this summer launches (and perhaps shall end) my acting career.\u00a0 Nevertheless, I thank all my family and friends and Kenyon classmates and hope I can be Still Crazy After All These Years<\/strong>.<\/p>\nSincerely,<\/p>\n
