Bill Yancey

Bill Yancey (1947- ) had the privilege of being the son of an air force officer and the grandson of an army officer. As a result, he lived all over the world, but never really grew up. After numerous grade schools, he attended four high schools (Norview, Warwick, Montgomery Catholic, Hammond), a prep school, (Sullivan's) and five colleges (USMA, George Mason, NoVaCC, Virginia Tech, VCU). After bouncing out of an engineering curriculum in 1967, and spending time in Vietnam (USNR 1967-69, USS Oriskany and USS Ranger) as a result, he finally obtained an undergraduate degree in general science from Virginia Tech in 1971. The Medical College of Virginia (VCU) still regrets giving him an M.D. degree in 1976 and a computer science degree in 1991. As a physician, he did a residency in Emergency Medicine and a fellowship in Sports Medicine. After 38 years of struggling through a career in medicine, he retired in 2014. He writes for his own entertainment, and hopes you see the humor in it, too.
