Dear Kathy,
Yes indeed, that article was about my brother Tom. He was drafted into the army during the Vietnam War. While in the army, he did a residency in orthopedics. So he spent eight years in the military and belonged to the reserves after he was released from active service. During Desert Storm he was drafted into active duty again. This was very difficult for him because at that same time his wife, Nita, was diagnosed with cancer. When released from service after Desert Storm, he retired totally from the army with the rank of Colonel, I believe. He even retired from his practice as an orthopedic surgeon in Corvallis OR and moved to Portland OR where Nita died in 1993. As you know he later married Marty Boettcher and they are enjoying their retirement years.
Love,
Sr. Mary Christine
