About this title

About the Author:

Dr. Emmett Murray (Duke to friends and family) practiced family medicine in Lima, Ohio from 1953 until 1995. He and his wife Polly retired to Fort Myers, Florida and then to the Woodlands area at Shell Point Village. Duke was born at home in Lima in 1925 to Faye and Emmett Murray and was the youngest of four children (his given name is literally Junior Emmett Murray). His father was a construction foreman and carpenter and his mother, a former housekeeper and candy-maker, was full-time at home. Both had been raised on farms and enjoyed Duke's early pursuit of adventure as he helped with chores on his Aunt Lou and Uncle Charlie's farm. After stints in the Army, college, and medical school, Duke began his professional life, with fishing his favorite diversion. Dr. and Mrs. Murray were faithful supporters of many Lima cultural and professional organizations. Duke served for a time on his church consistory and was later elected to the Lima City Board of Education, serving as President from 1965-1970. He was also Chief of Staff at Lima Memorial Hospital for a two-year term during the 1980s. From childhood, Duke has been am inveterate humorist, storyteller and mimic. His quick wit is well-known for breaking tensions during stressful situations. His greatest disappointment is the fragmentation and impersonality of modern doctor and hospital care. He plans to write about the golden age of medicine in a third book of stories. His first book was Come Reminisce with Me (Trafford, 2003).
