What are your short-term and long-term career goals?
Right now, I’m working on a biography on the veterans of the Korean War who were in the same battalion with me. We’re going to meet in San Diego in September and we’re going to talk about our experiences there. Long-term, I’d like to maintain my health and continue with oil and gas exploration.

What is your greatest professional accomplishment to date?
I have made several life-saving diagnoses in my field [of medicine]. I made a diagnosis on a woman that nobody else could. In terms of oil production, my greatest accomplishment got me started in the field. A doctor suggested we drill on this particular property. It ended up being a good well, so we decided to drill more. We sell it for petroleum – they transport it to a refinery.
