He is in private practice in Augusta, Georgia. The author was born in Augusta, Georgia on December 13, 1951. Before he was a year old, his parents looked at him and realized that he had “promise,” so they moved him North to the “Promised Land.” As a result, he grew up in the slums of Philadelphia and New Your City. At eighteen he enlisted into the United States Navy and the Navy relocated him to another world called San Diego, California. After serving honorably for six years, the author received an honorable discharge from the Navy and remained in San Diego, California. While completing his graduate school training in San Diego, California, the author read an article depicting the “New South.” This article spoke of the increased strides in race relations in the “New South” and he decided to return home (Augusta, Georgia and the “New South”) on May 1, 1983, after and absence of thirty-two years. The first day in Augusta, Georgia (the home of the Masters golf tournament), a white Deputy Sheriff threatened to take him to the University Hospital – What a welcome home to Dixie and the “New South.”
