As a boy in a small town in South Central Java, Indonesia I like to see Western cowboy motion pictures typically in black and white, looking at glossy American vehicles and reading about America and I hope some day I will see America myself. After I graduated in 1958 from the medical school University of Indonesia in Jakarta I maried my long period of time sweetheart Laney Ouw and the exact same year I transferred to Makassar to satisfy my responsibility to the Federal government The Univ. of Hasannudin in Makassar send me to a graduate course in 1961 in Biochemistry at the University of Tennessee Memphis TN USA After living for one year in the USA my feeling to live in America is still my desire The murder of the six Army generals of the Indonesian Army on October 1 1965 trigger a chaos in the nation and presentations and rioting and looting occurred in several cities in Java and Sumatra makes me more conscious that I need to reside in the U.S.A. to be without this chaos. In August 1967 I left with my other half and 2 children Meike and Charles for Birmingham AL U.S.A. with a legal visa.And started my internship in Medication and later my residency in Pathology at the University of Alabama in Birmingham In 1970 I accepted a position at the Dept of Pathology Indiana University in Indianapolis Indiana In 1973 I and my better half and Meike and Charles were sworn in as United States Citizen and peace came over me.Now I understand that me and my household have a nation that is democratic and complimentary. Two more kids were born in Birmingham Grace and David both and the older children give us much joy and sensation of setled in America Climbing through the Ranks I became Teacher and Senior Assoiate Chairman and Chief of Service Dept of Pathology under Dr Nordschow, the Chairman who supported me through all those years. In 1998 I retired totally and still reside in Indianapolis Indiana.
