Anton P SohnThere is some irony in my endeavor to write this historical and biographical sketch. Through high school and later in college, I concentrated on science, mathematics, and the arts to the detriment of the humanities, English and literature. A problem ith premedical education is neglect of the humanities. This is predictable and understandable since students must do well in the biological sciences to get admitted to medical school. Unfortunately medicine is not the only profession with this problem: engineering, architecture, and other professional schools concentrate on highly technical subjects to the detriment of a liberal education. Now, looking back, I can say that my memorable educational experiences were the inspirations I gained from grade schoolteachers: art-Mrs. Martha Barber, woodworking-Mr. Hershel Whitaker, and high schoolteachers: mechanical drafting-Mr. Wathen Leasor and art-Mr. F.M. Howard. I was also inspired by poetry that I memorized in high school.To complete this book I used family records and other sources compiled by my uncle, William Roy Fulton, DDS. He also wrote and recorded Fulton heritage. If other predecessors were as diligent in recording their experiences, this work would be twice as long and twice as interesting. Too frequently, everyday occurrences are thought to be commonplace and therefore not recorded. Accordingly, if I shed some light on the past, I will exceed my purpose. Read More Read Less
