Hello everybody,
I've been checking the site for a while, finally took the time to write something down. Thank you Nick for setting up the website, I'm still just happy to be able to retrieve e-mails and not crash our system. Just to bring everybody up to speed,I moved to the USA in 1998 with my wife Caroline. I completed my orthopedic residency and sports medicine fellowship and set up shop in Southern Illinois (Mount Vernon). How southern? 4 hours south of Chicago and 1 hour east of St-Louis.This is the bible belt,country rules the airwaves and NASCAR is religion.I joined another established physician and we just moved to a new 20000 square foot clinic with surgery suites and MRI.We are very busy and luckily the HMO's are not interested in our small community.
We are planning on coming to the reunion - looking forward to seeing everyone!! Luckily my family is still in Gatineau so I won't be needing my sleeping bag.
Ben
