At every stage of my career I have had interesting and cordial colleagues, some of whom are close friends.
My education began in the public schools of Wilmington. During most of these years, from about age 10, I also worked at some job or other after school, on weekends, and in the summer months.
The glimpses of human strength and frailty that a physician sees are with me still.
I also found out that I liked biochemical research and that I could do it.
