Aprašymas

This is the biography of William (Bill) Stenstrom, who came of age just before World War II, who became an obstetrician-gynecologist, studying and training as a Navy doctor. He began his practice in the Navy and traveled extensively, learning to fly, becoming a pilot and transporting himself and his family on their worldwide travels. He later practiced in the Lane County, Oregon, area, where his children were raised. Throughout and following his career he was active in medical and regional groups. His first book "Stoney's Road," was a book about his grandfather who emigrated from Sweden in 1882. When Bill Stenstrom retirred from the practice of medicine, he began writing a story about the generation of his grandparents, who emigrated from Sweden and went through many trials as they became American citizens. He wrote their story over a period of years and then, once it was published, he was convinced to turn his life into a memoir as well. Sadly, he passed away before he could complete that book in its entirety, although the writing had been completed. His daughter, Milly, took the reins and directed the coordination of photos and remaining text, bringing the book into being.
