My son Teddy is now 4 years old. It has become evident that he
loves to build & fix things, hopefully a future orthopaedist in
the making. I’ve been at Hershey Medical Center, Penn State,
for 2+ years now. The Hershey Factory is right down the road
a mile from the hospital. It’s fascinating how certain times of the day it actually smells like simmering milk or melted chocolate.
It never fails to put a smile on my face. I guess it reflects
how sweet things are going here at Hershey. I continue to
compete in Master’s Rowing Events in Phladelphia via rowing
club Whitemarsh Boat Club. I also competed with my alma
mater University of Rochester in a alumni boat at the head of
the Charles Regatta in Boston 2009. Hopefully I’ll be back in
Boston to compete this year as well.

Mithoefer for his preop words of advice.
