After leaving Walla Walla in1959 I attended the University of Washington for college and medical school graduating in 1966. After a year of medical internship at Yale-New Haven Medical Center in New Haven, Connecticut, I returned to Seattle in July, 1967 for a radiology residency finishing in June, 1970. I was fortunate to avoid a military tour of Viet Nam by spending two years as a radiologist at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland for the US Public Health Service. A grant from the University of Washington enabled my wife and young family to spend a year in the radiology department at the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 1972-1973.
When it was time for a real job, I chose the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Utah, for its new rapidly expanding radiology department in an area of great recreational opportunity. In 1978 I was asked to join the staff at Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City, and practiced as a pediatric radiologist specializing in heart disease of infants and children until my retirement in July, 2003. In the past six years I have enjoyed teaching pediatric radiology in China at the Shanghai Children’s Medical Center, and in Guatemala, and Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, as well as throughout the United States. Volunteer activities also have included Board Chairman of Repertory Dance Theater, and Planned Parenthood of Utah.
I met my wife, Helene, on a blind date at the University of Washington and married in September, 1963. We have two married sons, Jay, 39, living in Brooklyn, New York, a baseball writer, and Bryan, 37, living in Seattle, Washington, an investment banker. No grandchildren yet, just “granddogs”, but hopefully soon. We have two wonderful daughters-in-law, each one very competent in business.
Salt Lake City, Utah, and adjacent states have provided a wealth of outdoor recreational opportunities, and I have continued to enjoy golf and skiing since leaving Seattle. Other outdoor interests include fishing, backpacking, predominantly in Wyoming, gardening, bonsai and travel in Europe and the United States. I have greatly enjoyed returning to Walla Walla in past years to visit my parents, now both deceased, and now with family and friends to visit the many wineries in the area.

DeceasedFrom the Union-Bulletin, 14 Sep 1976 8 Fishermen missing from Ilwaco charter ILWACO, Wash. (AP) -- Eight persons are missing today after a charter fishing boat sank while under tow late Monday in rough seas at the mouth of the Columbia River, the Coast Guard says. A spokesman for the NTSB in Washington, D.C. said today his agency will investigate the accident because a Coast Guard vessel was involved. Two passengers from Bellevue, Wash., were rescued from the 41-foot charter, the Pearl Sea. Ten persons were aboard the disabled craft as it was being towed by a Coast Guard vessel. The missing were listed as Raymond Jewett, 36, Roy Jewett, 15, both of Bellvue; Harry Jewett, 70, Spokane; Bernice Winegar, 50, Ken Winegar, and Abron Nordgren, 58, all of Wood Cross City, Utah; the boat's skipper, Bill Cutting, and a Bellvue woman whose name was being withheld pending notification of relatives. A search involving the Coast Guard cutter Yocona and several smaller vessels continued through most of the night in heavy seas, and resumed at dawn today. Early reports were that both the fishing boat and Coast Guard tow boat had capsized, with the Coast Guard vessel righting itself. But a spokesman at the Coast Guard station at Astoria said today that neither boat actually overturned. He said the charter wallowed about 90 degrees and sank while undertow. The spokesman at Astoria said the charter boat may have been taking on water. He doubted the ocean conditions were the sole cause of the accident because swells were reported as mostly five to six feet and no larger than eight feet, with no breakers on the bar that separates the ocean from the river. Winds were reported at 20-25 knots. |
