Daniel Goodman, DO, ‘93 | |
Written from Dan Goodman’s daughter Ali - Happy Holidays!: As we move closer to year’s end, we re-examine the ups and downs of the past 12 months. This year of course we had the birth of my smiling and cheerful brother Stefen. I am now a big sister and proud of him because he is really really cute. Bubba, as we call him, is now ~6 months old and quite the wild man in his ‘walker on wheels’. We have to be armored with our hiking boots so that he won’t trample us while zooming around the house. He’s also started doing the “boot camp” crawl. I am 3 ½ and going to pre-school 3 days a week (unless mom and dad pull me out to go on some adventure). I am also in gymnastics and having lots of fun. |

Soon I get to move up to the more advanced classes. I think that means that I’m getting pretty good at holding onto those funny bars that they force me to tuck and swing on. However, I don’t really like it when Daddy puts the crazy glue on my hands. Besides that, I spend most of my time in the child care at my parent’s fitness center. While they go off and exercise, I get teased about being the “gym orphan” but at least I get to watch Disney movies. Mom has been pretty busy these days getting back into shape and running her new business. We never see her but we hear that she’s looking well. I really like going to her studio and painting the ceramic animals. Sometimes I actually catch a glimpse of her – baking my animals in the big round oven in the back (they call it a killing or killin or something like that). Anyway she says she’s doing it so Daddy can retire early. We just hope she comes home before the baby sitter graduates from high school. Dad is just as bad as Mom. He gets up at 5:30 am, spend ½ hour in the bathroom making all kinds of funny loud noises, wakes us up to kiss him bye-bye and then we don’t see him until he passes by the child care at the gym on the way to the StairMaster. Well, what can I say, his favorite pastime is exercising. Then when he’s finished and all sweaty, he expects me to kiss him.... uuggghhh! Fortunately he takes lots of weeks off during the year so we kind of know what he looks like. I really appreciate the wonderful cards and letters we have received throughout the year. It is fun to look at photos of family and friends that I haven’t seen in a while. We also want to thank the hundreds (?) of you who came up to Northern California to visit us this past year and hop as many of you will visit us in the upcoming century (my Dad told me to mention that). Hope to see you soon. | |

My wife Char and I have four children ages 8, 6, 4, 2. I work at Rockford Memorial Hospital with Scott Weintraub (U of M '96). Our chief is James Breckenridge (U of M '81). Scott and I play a lot of golf and racquetball together, and fortunately I win most of the time.

Dated: June 19, 1999 Still married to Doris for 36 years. Have four married children currently located in Parker, CO; Coppell, TX; Amarillo, TX and Columbia, SC. Our fifth grandchild arrived on June 11th in South Carolina. Children are employed in medicine, bomb disassembly, international construction, and senior marketing. My wife Doris coordinates all of the above while I slave way in the private practice of mis-managed anesthesia care. However, I do have a tentative retirement date of June 30, 2003 - (hurry, sundown). In the middle of this we pursue our interest of music, duplicate bridge and travel, our number one passion. |
We have done most of the USA and some of Canada. Alaska and Hawaii along with Bermuda, the Caribbean, the Panama Canal (military for three years) have been sufficiently visited. Our immediate past has included four trips to Europe (our favorite) since 1993. The high spots include, Rome, London, The Netherlands, Paris, Switzerland then Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, Denmark) and Germany. Studied health care in The Netherlands, visited the Pasteur Institute in Paris and the Who in Geneva. Our last venture, (September, 98) took us to Istanbul, then to Romania and up the Danube through Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary and Austria. Yes, we were in Belgrade for a day in September just ten days before Embassy activities were curtailed and six months before the NATO bombings began. What a beautiful country and people to have had to suffer because of a misdirected leader. 1999 has been the year of the family visiting children and grandchildren in their various changing locations. Our next trips will see us in Antarctica (January 2000) to visit the penguins, then to our son’s medical school gradation in South Carolina (May, 2000). See you all at the annual ASA in San Francisco in October then back to Rome for Christmas of 2000 and on to Vienna for New Year’s Eve of 2001. We have set foot upon five of the seven continents; have yet to do Australia and Africa – probably after retirement. The international dateline has yet to be traversed. When one lives in Amarillo, TX, literally the ends of the earth, one has to escape frequently. Our more local travels for our music pleasure include Dallas, Santa Fe, and San Francisco. Will let you know if we survive the Drake Passage and the Passage of Cape Horn, the most violent meeting spot of the two great oceans. | |

The picture is taken from our upstairs balcony, which overlooks the beautiful and now famous (thanks to “Titanic”) Lake Wissota. Did you know that Lake Wissota (a man made lake) did not even exist when the Titanic actually sailed? The kids don’t mind the error, though – they just love to hear their hometown and the lake that they live on and sim in mentioned on the big screen. The lake has brought us endless hours of fun – boating, skiing, tubing, fishing, and even skating and ice fishing in the winter. All of the kids swim like little fish now. If you come to visit in the summer, we’ll get you out for a ski or tube ride. Of course you’ll have to take your chances if Paul is driving the boat. He’s known to give some wild rides, especially to his brothers. It does help to bring along a six back of “Leinie’s” – he can be bribed you know. Paul loves his work, his Leinie’s and anything he can do on the water. The clinic hired a third anesthesiologist here and it is a wonderful change after over five years of every other night call. Hope this finds you healthy, happy, and enjoying life. We love visitors, so please feel welcome to visit the Schaus House. |

Merry Christmas and hello to all. Life is great in Holland, Michigan and I love what I do. Thanks to each of you for your part in helping to make me an Anesthesiologist. You helped me and taught me so much. Special thanks to the Department's secretaries and assistants. Karl Pintar, MD |
