Image of text that reads "Page 4 I worked enough "K" time to have three months off to travel in Europe with a friend from Arkansas; a neurosurgeon (female-one of the rare ones at that time) that was doing some study at Queen's Hospital in London. We left very little unseen or unexplored in those three months! I bought a VW "bug" which was driven 6,000 miles into every back alley, pensione and up to every mountain we could find...and of course, that's another story! At any rate, I managed to coordinate my work hours on weekends, stayed on campus at Natchitoches, LA (Northwestern) to get enough hours to apply for a PhD, only to be turned down because of my sex!! So... Scotch-like, I figured I was better off "as is" since it was quite challenging anyway. If I live long enough (I'll be 83 on December 24th!), I'll fill in the gaps from retirement to the present. I've seen so much of this world (46 countries in 10 years)-they even know me in the back alleys of Hong Kong! We won't go into my health, but usually I rally most of the time, but have an occasionally rough day or more at times. I'm the last of my family and am really like the Eveready battery-"Going and blowing"! With warmest regard,"
