I found this article in the Country Roads Magazine last week end, and today I found it on line and thought I share it with y'all. It is written by the Dr.'s friend and co-writer Leon Standifer. It give a little insight into Dr. O'Rourke. There are two pictures in the magazine but only one shows up on line. So I will attach the second one which I really like.
