The pickle jar Part 1

Dick Butler · 07-09-2012, 02:26 PM

Growing up my Moms family of 4 brothers were always visiting my grandparents who lived less than a mile from our house. Each Uncle took turns "going for a walk" around the neighborhood with me. Each talking about school, what subjects did I like and always encouraging me to get a college education. One who was a Ph D. encouraged me to become an M.D. so I could do research, teach or practice Medicine as I loved Science.
All of them are gone now but I always knew their motive and appreciated their encouragement. I retired from Medicine a year ago and it is a very satisfying memory of my career and family. Now it has been my turn to encourage higher education and it has produced several more motivated family students.....
