Derek graduated from Law School and became a Special More…Agent with the FBI. He is now a Supervisory SA over the Fraud & Public Corruption unit in Fort Worth. After ten years, and being too near flying bullets a couple of times, he “retired” from the FBI and joined the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in Sep 2019 as an Investigating Attorney.

Matt played basketball for KU as an invited walk-on player; they wanted his 6’ 10” height to practice against several players who are now in the NBA. He became an architect and taught on an adjunct basis at KU. They offered him the opportunity to get his PhD so he can teach full-time. Matt is ABD on his PhD and joined Children’s Mercy Hospital as a full-time Researcher. KU reduced tenure positions in Architecture from 15 to 6.

Whit graduated from KU Med School in May 2017 and is in Residency in Dallas. As a 3rd year Resident, she is working 80 hours per week, delivering babies and caring for GYN COVID-19 patients (as of 3/23/2020). In July 2021, Whit started a Maternal Fetal Medicine Fellowship at UT-Southwestern. Three more years.

What did you think you were going to do when you finished your education?

I wanted to go to med school. I didn't make it, but my daughter has. She has been an OBGYN Resident at Parkland Hospital in Dallas for 10 months and already delivered 190+ babies.

Grandchildren:

Andrew, born 2011; Adalyn, born 2014; William, born 2018

What have you been up to lately? What's filling your time now?

I am semi-retired; still managing money for clients who focus on Moderate Growth & Income investment objectives.

I retired from WFA on 1 Jul 2019. I hope to hear what my next career will be.

Since 3/08/2030, I am social distancing.

What would we be surprised to know about you?

I saw Satchel Paige at a Lions Club dinner in B’ville, and I met Nelson Mandela.

What are your hobbies, interests, activities, etc.? What is keeping you busy?

Reading, walking, staying home to avoid COVID-19

Have you ever witnessed an honest to goodness miracle or seen an angel? Tell us about it.

I'm not sure.

What did you always wanted to do that you haven't done yet?

Skydive, climb Machu Pichu, live in Paris, visit Iceland again, breathe more deeply {I have an Auto Immune Disorder, Cryptogenic Organizing Pneumonia (COP) that presents like is Pneumonia but is not.}

What would need to fall into place for you to accomplish this? What's holding you back?

COP therapy = long-term Prednisone; 14 weeks the first time and 8 weeks the second time. Symbicort inhaler; 2 puffs 2x daily.

To save a story for younger generations about what life was like when you were young, what was different, what stories would you tell?

One of my fondest memories is of riding my bike (3 miles?) from near Highland Park Elementary to Sunset (?) Lake, north of Sunset C.C., to fish. I could be gone for hours. As long as my parents could find me there and as long as I was home for supper, all was okay. I had a paper route by then, so I was probably about 13 or 14.

Later, I drove my 1964 Corvair Coupe. It was black with red vinyl interior and had a four cylinder engine with a 3-speed manual shift. I wish I still had that car!

Tell a story about your first crush.

Our first grade teacher, Miss Metcalf, told me I would have kiss her at the front of the class “if you kiss Miss Kleinschmidt again”. U

Who did / do you have a secret crush on?

Marsha (Marcia?) Kleinschmidt.

What’s the one thing that made you leave, stay, move to or return to your current or different town?

College. I went to OSU, then Concordia Senior College, then OU, then OSU, graduating in 1975.

When have you been most satisfied in your life?

Since I married, and especially since we had kids, every day. My family is my wealth and my happiness!!

Tell the story of a random act of kindness you witnessed or initiated.

I don’t carry a lot of cash; but, whenever I see a homeless vet or homeless mother, I give whatever I do have. Sometimes, I will buy something to eat and/or drink with my debit card and give it to them.

What are you proudest of?

People ask Lesa and me what we did so that our kids would turn out so well. D has a JD and is doing very well in the FBI. M is getting his PhD in Architecture. W is getting her MD May 2017.

As of July 2020, D completed 10 years with the FBI and joined the SEC in October 2019. M is ABD on his PhD and is working as a full-time Researcher in public health for a KU Med School/Children’s Mercy Hospital joint project. W is in her fourth year of an OBGYN Residency and is interviewing for a MFM Fellowship.

Happy Birthday, Brad! I hope all is well.

I fell off a ladder (a few years ago) and tore a rotator cuff and a bicep muscle. Gave my Calkaways to my tall daughter-in-law. Oh well.

Anyone hear of a Macular Hemorrhage? I have one. I was concerned that it might be the start of a retinal detachment; but a vitreous membrane, which is pulling on my retina, causes growth of new blood vessels that bleed. “It should resolve itself within a couple of months,” says my MD. TMI? Anyway, if you look at an Amsler Grid, which you should do occasionally, my R eye sees perfectly straight horizontal and vertical lines. My L eye sees wavy lines and a light gray patch in the lower left quadrant of the grid. Your eyesight is irreplaceable. Keep an eye on it.

Steve, our boys, Derek and Matt, where both induced 16 days late. Lesa doesn't do anything on time. She was induced for Whitney at 9 days past due, which was 31 years ago today. Otherwise, Whit might have been a Christmas baby.

Now, Whit (Dub) is a MD and OBGYN. She would never let a mom go more than a few days past due.

Enjoy your Birthday! Best regards, Cal
