He reminisces about school days and his pediatric internship and residency at UOMS. He tells of the sorts of cases, including the last polio outbreaks prior to vaccines. He did two years in the Air Force. He returned to faculty positions as Assistant Director of the Crippled Children's Division, instructor in Pediatrics, and as a Fellow in Cardiology. Dr. Menashe recounts the history of the CCD from a Depression-era welfare program to its current incarnation as the Child Development and Rehabilitation Center (CDRC). He addresses the administrative interlinkages of the different components and how they were affected by the consolidation into a university.
