Did You Know

Did you know, renowned pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. James Goodrich, who separated conjoined at the head twins, received part of his schooling at a community college and was a surfer? I am always proud to hear about folks who have made contributions to society that started out at a community college. Unfortunately, he has recently died from COVID19. RIP

It sounds as if he will be sorely missed (by the world as well as his family).

That's a sad loss.

I am sorry to hear about his passing. I love that he started at community college. It seems to be a much more popular choice in the past few years (around here). Lots of people I know are going to community college to get their associate's degree and then going to another college to get their bachelor's. Saves a LOT of money.

It was sad to hear of his passing.I agree about getting a start in Community Colleges. That's what my kids did.

It's sad and it's depressing. Still he accomplished so much, lived life to the fullest and left a never to be forgotten legacy.

You are so right, Jess. It saves a huge amount of money and it offers a truly worthwhile education.

So did the HH! And I worked as the admin assist to the VP for Education. That's a mouthful. Ha.

Good for your kids, Denise. CC's are a great place to get an education or the jumping off point to a higher degree.
