After graduation from ISS I did my undergraduate work at Washington & Lee University along with John Poynor and Ormond Somerville. After my junior year at at college, I entered medical school at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. In 1966 I returned to University Hospital in Birmingham where I completed four years of surgical residency.
1970 was a big year! I finished my surgical training, married a
young girl, Anna Margaret Holbrook, and left for Minot, ND
where I spent two years as Chief of Surgical Services at a
large regional hospital working for Uncle Sam in the USAF. In
1972 I returned to Birmingham and entered private practice in
general surgery where I remained until retirement in 2001. I
have really enjoyed retirement. We travel a lot and enjoy our
four grandchildren.
Thanks to Anna Margaret, I have
three lovely daughters, Elizabeth
Courtney, Findley Holbrook and
Anna Grier. Findley has two boys,
and Courtney has a girl and a boy.
Grier is finishing her masters Degree
at New York University in May.
