Wow...50 years.

The best way to describe mine is how they were described to me by a close friend and associate several years ago:

"Mark. Your life is a series of bazaar and unusual interruptions interrupted by even more bazaar and unusual interruptions."

In a nutshell:

Amherst College 1972 - 76 BA in History with minors in Mathematics and Combined Sciences
GWU Medical School 1976 - 1980
Tripler Army Medical Center Internship and Residency in Pathology 1980 - 1984
Various postings in the military til 1989
Private practice 1989 til 2004
VA practice 2004 til 2017
"Retired" into consulting in Clinical Laboratory, IT (Mr. Brunner got me hooked on programming when I was 15!), and Pharmaceuticals.

Married for 37 years to my lovely boss Bonavy a Clinical Pharmacist and artist in watercolors and digital media

Two daughters:

Sovan who is in IT as a programmer and systems analyst as well as a newly minted EMT not to metion a published cartoonist

Krista - a newly minted NP and fourth generation poet who is also published

Looking forward to hearing what everyone else has been doing and what adventures they've had while traveling through the last fifty years.
