A very strange day

Yesterday was a strange day.  I moved to Port Hueneme in 1976 and joined an established optometric practice started by Dr. Ralph Moses in 1952.  At that time he had been providing quality optometric care to this community for 24 years.  We were partners for 13 years and then he retired in 1989.  Ralph died last Wednesday and was buried yesterday.

There were several hundred people at his service.  Everyone truly did love Ralph.  I will miss my mentor.

Last night at the 2011 Port Hueneme Chamber Of Commerce Annual Dinner I was recognized as "The 2011 Port Hueneme Business Person of the Year".  I was very surprised and didn't make much of a speech, but looking back now I wish I had taken a moment to thank Ralph for setting the tone of our practice.  We really do try our best to provide the best optometric care possible and always with a unique interest in that  particular patient as a unique individual.

Thanks Ralph.
