There are but a handful of truly important relationships in one's journey through this life.

There are but a handful of truly important relationships in one's journey through this life. To me it's my Lord, parents, spouse, children, teachers, preachers and a select few special friends. There is a person in my life whose influence has been that of a teacher, preacher and freind. That person is James Hochwalt, MD. Doc Hochwalt has coached, treated and comforted me through several key phases of my personal and professional adult life. I sit at my computer this morning, 66 years old but young, retired, happy and feeling very good. As a special bonus I have this opportunity to say THANKS. Thanks for always being there for me every time I have needed you for my health and well being ! As my wife and I plan to relocate to the beaches of South Carolina there are but a few things I am fearful of leaving behind. The small church I attend, Middletown Middie basketball, my favorite downtown Cincinnati bar, my buddies and the best Doctor in world James Hochwalt. Actually. I need to address this issue with Doc Hochwalt. I can't see myself changing Doctors. Despite the 700 miles between the beach and Cincinnati, I need keep my teacher, preacher, coach and friend Doc Hochwalt in my life. Doc seems to be a humble man and I doubt he even realizes how important a part he can play in one's life. Well it is what it is !
