I don't mean to sound like a martyr, but my parents would not have  
permitted
this, at least if the parents were to help with college costs.   So each 
summer,
with no break, I finished the college term, and then worked all summer  for
the Wisconsin Highway Department, largely helping with a survey team
for future road construction projects.  There was then a weekend for  moving
back to UW-Madison for the next school year.
 
If I had traveled about to see some of the world, I'm sure I'd have  been
more mature with such a year off, but such was impractical with medical  
school
in the plans.  Christmas and Spring  Breaks were all about  studying, too.
 
I finished dermatology residency at UM-Minneapolis on 1 July 66, and
was on active duty at Ft. Sam Houston by 15 July 66, and on duty 
in Frankfurt/M, Germany by 1 October 66.
