The doctor draft in the 1950's ended any thoughts of this author being a "normal" hometown physician. But it opened a whole new world of unexpected events, people, and places.From astronauts to Russian spies, Hollywood stars to an acquitted multiple murderer, and the John F. Kennedy family to a Nazi war-crimes scientist, these events and interactions found their way into the life of a military doctor.Throw in 75 combat missions in Southeast Asia, dinner with the Chief of Staff of the Chinese Air Force, and a persistent FBI agent, and this true story seems almost unbelievable.A local newspaper near the doctor's previous residence called him the "Forrest Gump" of the Village. Judge for yourself as each serendipitous event unfolds ... one after another.
