Cory Fawcett

I can't believe it has been 45 years since we graduated. My oldest son, Brian, graduate from U of O last summer with a degree in Economics. My younger son, Keith, majored in Mobile Development. Where has the time gone. After I left Medford I went to college at Stanford, then to Medical School at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland on a Naval scholarship, then to general surgery residency in Bakersfield California. I was a surgeon in Grants Pass beginning in 1993 and retired in 2017. I met my wife in Medical School and we have been married 36 years now. Each year gets better than the last. The three of us boys got into bicycle racing and all three of us won Oregon's "Best All Around Rider" awards for our age groups in 2009. The next year we won the Oregon Cross County Mountain Bike Series. Our cycling team disbanded and when I stopped racing, my middle started to balloon. Go figure? My wife Carolyn and I taught a Financial class for many years called "Crown Ministries," a ten-week Bible study on money management. We enjoyed changing peoples financial future through the class. I retired from my medical practice after 20 years at the end of 2013 and began working part time at small rural hospitals to help fill in where they don't have enough surgeons. It has been a very rewarding change of pace. I fully retired from medicine in 2017. I began a new business called "Financial Success MD" teaching personal finance and debt management to physicians and wrote the award-winning Doctors Guide book series which now has six books. I'm looking forward to seeing you all at the reunion and I really enjoy reading about your lives on this web page. If you haven't filled out your page, please do.
