After viewing your photograph and reading some background material I believe your Father was at one time my physician.

At the time I was the Chief of Police in Kimberly Wisconsin and he was practicing out of Appleton Wisconsin. I recall one incident, which I continue to relate today, when I was in hospital for a minor heart attack and contemplating surgery. I was on a very restrictive diet and being quite cranky I had made a rather sarcastic remark to the good Doctor. You need to understand that at that time he was quite robust and usually had a very large cigar with him. He very calmly looked over and quitely stated, "Well now, I don't seem to be the one with the heart problem"! Didn't leave much room to comment.

To this day I often think of him and his method of handling patients. He was a very professional and extremly knowledgeable individual whom I respected highly. Unfortunetly I don't think we have his caliber of phyisician in the area any longer.

I hope this finds he and his family in good health and enjoying all he worked so hard to accomplish.

If you would kindly pass this on to the good Doctor it would be appreciated.
