Opis

This book contains stories of my life as a veterinarian in private practice for 32 years and 17 years as a Clinical Associate Professor in the Large Animal Medicine and Surgery Department at Texas A&M University. I served 7 years as a State Veterinarian for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). The book also includes stories of my wife (Dora) who grew up in Ward 9 in Washington Parish in the Mt. Pisgah community and worked beside me as a veterinarian's wife. While caring for our family and home, she dedicated 27 years to education in Louisiana and Texas. Upon my retirement in March, 2007, I had completed 49 years in the practice of veterinary medicine. Even though, I am enjoying retirement, I wish that I were still practicing. Working as a veterinarian was my life's passion. Dora retired in June, 2007. Our time has been dedicated to our families, our church, researching our family genealogies, and visiting with lifelong friends and friends who have been a part of our lives during the last 20 years in Texas.
