What more can a man ask?”) Dr. Earl Reed Swift, from down by Kalamazoo, had capably filled in, but he wasn’t a native to Lakeview like Dr. Kelsey, and folks were glad to have the young army surgeon back safe and sound. Lillian was particularly glad, not only to have her husband home in one piece but to have her life partner in community medicine back working at her side. Their two young daughters, Jean and Ruth, who were age 12 and 10 had sorely missed daddy the two years he was gone. ....
