Dr. Dick Versendaal had a story he loved to tell about one of his very first patients.
He was 24, just graduated from Palmer School and back home with his first office. One of his first patients was his own mother's medical doctor, a well known physician in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Two weeks after the visit, the doctor called him in and handed him an envelope. Inside was the title to a 1915 Model T Touring.
He kept the car for seven years, until a museum in the Carolinas asked for it. It's one of those stories that stays in the family forever, and it shows the warmth and humor he brought to every room he taught in.
Hear more of his teaching at the free Michelangelo Live Launch this Tuesday with Dawn Hoezee-Versendaal and Dr. Howard Cohn.
