Charlie Fautin got into nursing to see the world, but in the end his travels led him to find a home in Oregon.
As he prepares to retire at the end of the year from his position as deputy director for public health with the Benton County Health Department, Fautin looked back over his globe-trotting career.
âMy path,â he said, âhas been non-linear.â
Born and raised in Wyoming, Fautin spent two years of his childhood in Afghanistan, where his father, a zoology professor at the University of Wyoming, had gone to do some work with Kabul University. Fautin recalls meeting the Afghan royal family and turning out with the rest of the American community in Kabul to cheer the arrival of Dwight D. Eisenhower during a presidential visit in 1959.
