Z's network?
....snip
One of the guys that used to fly with me on the airline used to skydive with Zoom. And he said he was normal back then, and that was back in either the late seventies or early eighties. But then again, how normal is anyone who skydives :-) ....in the late 70s (1979, to be exact) he was being carted off from Tulsa in a butterfly net by his daddy because he was caught impersonating a doctor (using his grandfather's medical bag, white coat and I.D.) and scheduling his girlfriend for a hysterectomy. here's a few graphs of the Tulsa Tribune article: Tulsa Tribune Jan 4, 1979 Page 1A " Doctor No All 'physician' lacked was a license By STEVE WARD Dashing young Dr. James Campbell had a standing offer with co-workers and neighbors at his apartment complex: Call him if they needed a doctor. They called often. He came to the rescue of a woman having a heart attack, gave first aid to a girl with a bad cut on her forehead, treated an next door neighbor's baby who had a cold and was planning to perform surgery on his girlfriend. Everyone liked Dr. Campbell. He told them he was a man of the world - he was working with the CIA, was a Vietnam veteran, a daredevil who once tried to parachute off the world trade center in New York City and was licensed to fly commercial jets. The only thing wrong was that Dr. Campbell, who practiced in Tulsa for four months, was not a doctor. Campbell was described by his father as being a "schizophrenic" who has tried to convince even his parents that he is a doctor, even though he never has attended medical school, officers said. Yet he functioned in a Tulsa suburb as a doctor, although he apparently never performed surgery, until last week. Everyone who came in contact with him until recent weeks was impressed." now, i don't know what, exactly, you use as a benchmark for normal, but in this case the manifestations of, shall we say, abnormality showed up rather early in life. al |
