Today's Featured Biography
Barry King
In February 2021, Barry writes:
Hi everyone! Hope you and yours are doing well.
Et. al., are alive and well and presently living in Houston. We sold our home in Santa Fe. However, Maria and I will probably be moving again in nine months when our lease expires, and this time to somewhere on the Gulf side of Flordia. This is despite the fact that our younger son, daughter-in-law and our two wonderful grandchildren live here. Houston is definitely not a place for oldrsters with the heat and terrible traffic.. It's a nightmare getting around.
In addition, our daughter-in-law, who is one of the realitively few fetal surgeons in the country and is presently is on the staff at Baylor will be moving on with her career.. I imagine within the next several years she will most likely, be recruited as a department head elsewhere. Baylor is one of the preeminent centers in this surgical subspeciality. Our younger son who is a neurosurgeon at UT Herman Memorial will be tagging along for the ride, and most probably work at her new medical center or one nearby. Times have changed, for it's now sometimes the husband who has to follow the wife's career.
Our older son still lives in New Jersey. He was in the hedge fund world for twenty plus years and hated it. He's now self-employed in finance and is in seventh heaven working from home, as the daily commute into NYC was a drag. His three kids are doing quite well. The oldest boy, who recently turned sixteen is now in his sophomore year at Bergen Caltholic and plays guard there on the offensive line. Last year he was also in the top five freshmen in the state in the shotput and had never before participated in track.
Although, being a retired orthopedist who once was a college team doctor with my group, I have very mixed emotions about him playing this sport. I would have much rather have him be a swimmer, a golfer or tennis player; however, his body habitus dictates otherwise. His coaches have told him If he works hard he could be a starter this coming fall in his junior year. Presently, he's 6'3" weighs 275lbs. wears a size seventeen shoe, hasn't started shaving yet, and eats like a horse.
Yearly, Bergen ranks as one of the top forty teams in the country and sometimes in the top twenty. The vast majority of young men on the team go on to play college ball with a good percentage at D-I level, including a number to Ivy league programs. The thing I like the most about the school, the coaches and the teachers, is that they watch over their students, particularly their athletes like hawks. A fair number of the young men on the team come from disadvantaged homes and are there on scholarships. So if they work hard in school and on the field this is their big opportunity to get a solid education and move on in life.
Best, Barry
P,S, MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET YOUR COVID SHOT! Although there is a lot of unnecessary hype going around about the virus and the true death totals, if the wrong person contracts it , particulary in our age group, IT IS DEADLY!!
