Q: Let me start with asking you to tell us a little bit about yourself.

A:  I’m a retired physician (26 years in solo private practice of ear, nose, and throat, then 10 years a professor at UT Southwestern Medical School). I had no idea of writing beyond the textbooks and professional papers I was fortunate enough to write, but God apparently had other ideas. My wife and I have four grown children and five grandchildren. We live in north Texas,
