by Scott J. Mighell (Author)

In the first part of this past century, when the author was born, radios were a rarity and a plaything of the wealthy. Of course there was no television. The motion picture was an innovation. Common wisdom was, that vaudeville and the theater had nothing to fear from this newcomer. Most entertainment involved conversation. This was encouraged in the summer time, by the wide front porches, and in the winter, seated in the living room, in front of the fireplace. Naturally, much of conversation involved the telling of stories of events that had occurred. As Dr. Mighell grew up, he listened to these stories of his ancestors going back into the nineteenth century. He began to experience the Great Depression in his developmental years. He was determined to become a physician even though America became involved in World War II, with the natural disruptions that this meant in the lives of all young men in their twenties. He ended up a medical officer in the air force but was finally able to return to a life of normalcy completing his medical education and practicing general surgery for fifty years.
