Enthusiasms
What to dig about trains? Dr. Ken Sandock knows. On the Cover
Tombstone NOT. Not even Old Tucson. This 1969 photo of a Yugoslavian Western movie set has a little transparency fade from is Kodacolor negative, but it still looks like the American Old West that Europeans came to love. See this months Behind the Lens (Dr. Hal Tretbar photo).
Reality Check
Nature-lover Dr. Michael S. Smith performs a checkup on the seasons of his life.
Perspective
Dr. George Makol has an ObamaCare critique
Heart
There is no better feeling than helping my fellow man in the very last part of his life. To bring a patient joy, or to see a smile on their face, and know you helped put it there is pure pleasure to me.
