Larry,
I can’t remember when I sent my last update (10/16/12) but as I wrote previously I am still working on my “second career”… as Chairman of the MCG Department of Pediatrics and Pediatrician-in-Chief of the Children’s Hospital of Georgia. It is a great job! I have 60 wonderful pediatric faculty members here and about 250 volunteer faculty around the state. We now have 58 pediatric residents and fellows.

MCG is as good or better than ever and is now 188 years old! The major change as most of you know is that we are a college within Augusta University. This week we welcomed 230 incoming freshmen, the MCG Class of 2020!
Personally I am doing fine with no health issues. Like Charlie McDonald I have joined the 79 club. Welcome Larry!
I play golf regularly, if not very well and get to my Cashiers, NC cottage as often as I can. Both of my daughters live in Augusta and four grand kids are in college. I have one great grandson…named Charlie.
I send my best to all of our classmates. Stay in touch.

Thank you for continuing your efforts to connect with our classmates. It is great to hear from them and their spouses. I’m finally enjoying full retirement but still have a small office at MCG as a Professor Emeritus. Fund raising for MCG and the Children’s Hospital are my only real activities there.
My health is good so skiing, golf and traveling are still fun. My two daughters, four grand children and one great grandson (little Charlie) live nearby so I see them almost every day. I hope our classmates continue to write back and wish all of you the best for the holiday season.
Charlie
