College

Attended Johns Hopkins University with DHS '66 buddies, David Dennison and Nick Karbonik.

Received BA(1970), MA(1972), and PhD(1974) in Chemical Oceanography --- Remember Jacques Cousteau was BIG then.

Taught Geoscience at Case Western Reserve University from 1974 to 1978.

Fell in love with a medical student and enjoyed reading her medical books more than my oceanography books.

Attended CWRU Medical School from 1976-1980 and earned MD. Residency in Diagnostic Radiology at Los Angeles County/University of Southern California Medical School from 1980-84. End of education---28 years was enough!

Other

I remember high school as one of the best times of my life. Lots of great friends and great teachers. I fund an annual scholarship for a current DHS student in honor of two of the best teachers I ever knew, Arthur Johnston (English), who taught me how to write, and William Oberle (Math), who taught me how to think.
