About Me	Life I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY OF MY LIFE. AFTER H.S. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WANTED TO DO, BUT I WENT TO GA. TECH, AND I GOT A BATCHELORS DEGREE IN PHYSICS. I THEN WORKED FOR 3 1/2 YEARS AT GENERAL DYNAMICS IN FT WORTH AS A NUCLEAR PHYSICIST (AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT MY TITLE WAS). THEN I DECIDED I DIDN'T KNOW ENOUGH MATH TO EVER BE REALLY GOOD AT PHYSICS, SO I WENT TO NORTH TEXAS ST AND GOT A MASTERS DEGREE IN MATH, BUT BY THEN I HAD REALLY COME TO LIKE PURE MATH, SO I WENT TO FLORIDA ST UNIV TO WORK ON A PHD IN MATH. WHILE THERE, I WAS EXPOSED TO A YOUNG PROFESSOR WHO WAS A TRUE MATHEMATICAL GENIUS, AND I KNEW I COULD NEVER BE THAT GOOD AND BECAME DISCOURAGED. SO, AFTER A YEAR I SWITCHED TO PRE MED AT FLORIDA ST. WHILE MY WIFE (MARRIED IN 1965) GOT A PHD IN ENGLISH. IN 1973 I STARTED MEDICAL SCHOOL IN SAN ANTONIO (AT AGE 31). IN MY 3RD YEAR WE HAD A DAUGHTER, FOLLOWED BY A SON 3 YRS LATER AND A SECOND SON 3 YRS LATER. AFTER MEDICAL SCHOOL I DID AN INTERNSHIP IN MEDICINE AND THEN A 3 YR RESIDENCY IN DERMATOLOGY FOLLOWED BY A 1 1/2 YEAR FELLOWSHIP IN DERMATOPATHOLOGY. THEN I WAS DIVORCED AND REMARRIED (IN 1983) AND WAS PART TIME ON THE DERMATOLOGY STAFF AT THE MEDICAL SCHOOL IN SAN ANTONIO WHILE I ALSO STARTED A PRIVATE DERMATOPATHOLOGY LAB. AFTER 10 YEARS I QUIT WORKING AT THE MEDICAL SCHOOL,AND I'VE BEEN DOING ONLY DERMATOPATHOLOGY FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS. ELEVEN YEARS AGO DIANE AND I ADOPTED OUR DAUGHTER, ZOE, AT AGE 1 DAY. MY 25 YR OLD DAUGHTER WENT TO HARVARD AND THEN OXFORD AND THEN TO ANOTHER SCHOOL IN ENGLAND, AND SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND THERE AND MAY NEVER MOVE BACK. SHE WANTS TO BE A WRITER AND WILL PROBABLY BE PRETTY GOOD AT IT. MY 23 YR OLD SON HAS JUST FINISHED AT NORTHWESTERN UNIV. HE IS IN DRAMA AND WANTS TO ACT IN AND WRITE PLAYS. MY YOUNGEST SON IS A ENGLISH MAJOR AT PITZER COLLAGE IN CALIFORNIA. MY PARTNER AND I SEE ABOUT 65,000 SKIN SPECIMENS A YEAR NOW, AND I WORK ABOUT 12-14 HRS A DAY. WELL THERE IT IS IN BRIEF. --- SAM NOW FOR AN UPDATE 07-07-06 NO ONE IN MY FAMILY WHO I WAS CLOSE TO HAD EVER DIED. THEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE. MY DAD, WHO STILL LIVED IN THE HOUSE I LIVED IN WHILE GOING TO CASTLEBERRY, DIED IN AUG 2003.
