Even in rural Wisconsin I had heard of the fame of The Johns Hopkins Hospital, so I set my sights on starting at the Johns Hopkins University. I loved the setting in a very historic city and with my pre-med courses was able to do a minor in German literature and study the history of art and architecture. After graduation in 1966 from JHU, I relished a summer at German language school in Cologne rooming with a German family with side trips throughout Europe on a U-Rail-Pass (often sleeping in train stations). That fall I started at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Class of 1970, the “Blaze of Glory Class.” Reed Hall was quite new then, and innovative as a dorm with four-bedrooms suites centered about a common living space. The 2nd year I moved into a three-story brick rowhouse on Rutland St., a half-block from the Monument St. entrance to the hospital and stayed there with housemates for the duration (now the site of a parking garage across from Turner Auditorium).

It was a time and place I will never forget. Less pleasant memories - watching from the windows of Halstead as the race-day riots in 1967 flooded streets and sidewalks of Monument St. rushing further east past Welch. We stayed within the hospital all that day and overnight. The first three years of med school found me extremely interested in cardiac surgery, with the first transplants occurring about the world. Dr. Vincent Gott, then head of the Hopkins cardiac department was a mentor and I was able to do some research projects in his department. Towards the end of my third year I discovered that I also had a strong interest in radiology. Imaging had strong ties in a sense with my interests in art and architecture. Interventional radiology, which was then in its infancy, was very technical
