With These Hands

<p><strong><em>TO BUILD A BETTER WORLD</em></strong></p><p></p><p>My important accomplishments. Much of my motivation came from my mother's side of the family. My mother wrote poetry and kept a diary. Her sister Martha Cook had artist abilities. Not to be overlooked was my father's influence on my financial wellbeing and strength of character.</p><p>My life consisted of important evolving phases. My first interest was art which started at approximately age ten. The second phase woodworking began a few years later. My interest in writing began when I was chairman of pathology at University of Nevada Reno School of Medicine.</p><p>Motivation came from experiences in grade school #57. My art teacher Martha Barber encouraged my artistic abilities and shop teacher Hershel Whitaker stimulated my woodworking interests.</p><p>In Howe High School I decided to pursue in a career in architecture. After graduation from high school and two years (1953-55) of architecture at the University of Cincinnati my interest career changed. I transferred to Indiana University to pursue a career in medicine. In the following chapters I will enumerate my art architecture handicrafts and publications.</p>
